Amsterdam remains one of Europe\u2019s most resilient hotel markets, with consistent demand levels and high occupancy rates. However, in 2026, this apparent strength hides a more demanding reality: profitability is under increasing pressure.\n
\n
\nThe VAT increase from 9% to 21% is not just a tax adjustment. It represents a structural shift in how hotels must manage revenue, costs, and distribution channels.\n
\n
\nToday, the key question is no longer how many rooms are sold, but:\nwhat is the effective margin generated by each booking<\/b>.<\/br><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

High Occupancy, Margins Under Pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The result is clear:
    a significant portion of revenue does not translate into real profit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In this context, operational efficiency and intelligent revenue management are no longer competitive advantages \u2014 they are essential requirements.<\/p>\n

    1. A New Approach to Revenue Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Traditional models based on historical data or competitive benchmarking are no longer sufficient in a high-cost, high-tax environment.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Leading operators are shifting toward net-based metrics, such as Net RevPAR<\/strong>, which accounts for taxes, commissions, and acquisition costs.<\/p>\n
