Introduction 1. In 2010, the Committee on Equal Opportunities for Women and Men became the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination. Its mandate now covers all aspects of the fight against discrimination, on whatever ground (age, gender, national or social origin, sexual orientation, disability, etc.), as well as all forms of racism and intolerance. 2. This widening of the committee’s remit had been decided as part of a comprehensive reform of the Parliamentary Assembly, the purpose of which was to “strengthen its political relevance and effectiveness, to make it more visible and to increase its members’ involvement”. A further objective was to “reinforce the interaction between the Assembly and national parliaments and to strengthen interparliamentary co- operation”.1 3. A review of the committee’s activities for the period 2012-2013 was carried out by Ms Tina Acketoft in her capacity as Chair of the committee and provided some useful guidelines for the committee’s work.2 In 2014, for example, the terms of reference of the General Rapporteur on combating racism and intolerance were approved, it was decided to set up the No Hate Parliamentary Alliance and the Sub-Committee on Disability and Inclusion was formed.

  • 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.
