How to Reach Santander Location and Access by Plane
How to reach Santander Location and Access Santander is located by the North shoreline of Spain. It is well connected with the most important Spanish cities (namely Madrid and Barcelona) and it is very close to Bilbao (120 km). There are several ways to reach Santander; in the following we provide a brief outlook of them. By plane To reach Santander by plane, there is the option to arrive directly at its airport, but Bilbao airport (with more European connections) can also be used, since it is easy to reach Santander from Bilbao by road. In this sense, University of Cantabria has an agreement with a private taxi service (cheaper than a taxi), with a fare of 107 euros per way (either Santander-Bilbao or Bilbao-Santander). Santander International Airport (SDR) Santander Airport (SDR) is located 7 km away from the downtown and has regular flights to Madrid and Barcelona operated by the IBERIA airline company. • To Madrid: 8 flights per day; From Madrid: 8 flights per day. • To Barcelona: 3 flights per day; From Barcelona: 3 flights per day. There are also flights to and from Madrid operated by the low Cost Ryanair airline company per day. • To Madrid: 2 flights per day; From Madrid: 1 flight per day. Figure 1. International flights In addition, there are a number of international connections, most of them operated by Ryanair. The following two tables provide the current international and domestic flights in Santander airport: Table 1. International flights Table 2. Domestic flights Bilbao International Airport (BIO) As said before, another interesting alternative is to use Bilbao airport (with several European connections), and then travel to Santander by car, bus, etc.

The Netherlands: Serviced Apartments Market
Element, Amsterdam MARKET REPORT The Netherlands: Serviced Apartments Market JANUARY 2018 The Netherlands: Serviced Apartments Market Market Report - January 2018 Source: Cityden UP, Amsterdam South Introduction This Horwath HTL Special Market Report provides insights into the fastest growing and frequently overlooked accommodation segment – Serviced Apartments. The following report includes a general introduction to the serviced apartments market and summarizes the outcome of a survey conducted by Horwath HTL Netherlands (Q4 2017). In the past, the serviced apartments market in the Netherlands had a distinct position between hotels and housing. Over the past few years however, this position has changed. One of the reasons is that more and more hotels and hotel chains are offering hotel apartments specificly catered to the extended stay market. The other main reason is that current serviced apartments providers also rent out the apartments on a nightly basis, in effect entering the hotel market. As a result, the market for serviced apartments can now be considered a distinct part of the overall hotel market. www.horwathhtl.com www.horwathhtl.nl 2 The Netherlands: Serviced Apartments Market Market Report - January 2018 Figure 1: Dutch City Hotel Index Rise of the main cities The Dutch hotel market recorded significant growth for the eighth consecutive year in 2017. The popularity among international travelers visiting the Netherlands, 9 15 resulted in a considerable 38% compounded growth in hotel overnight stays (see Table 1). 10 The growth rate was considerably higher in the 5 main hotel cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, 1 Maastricht and Utrecht) than in the rest of the country: 6 7 61% in the main cities against 25% in the provinces.
