On June 24 and 25, the Netherlands will host the NATO Summit, welcoming delegations from 45 countries—around 6,000 participants in total. But why limit your visit to just the summit? Extend your stay and immerse yourself in the Netherlands through regenerative tourism experiences that most travelers never encounter.
Many visitors to the Netherlands stay in and around Amsterdam, unaware of the incredible sustainable tourism opportunities waiting beyond the city. We believe the best way to truly understand a country and its cultural heritage is through its people—locals who are passionate about their craft, profession, or a subject that fascinates them. That’s why we created A Dutch Experience (ADE), an online platform where travelers, expats, and even locals can book unique, one-of-a-kind regenerative tourism experiences that support local communities and promote environmental conservation.
From sustainable food practices to eco-friendly architecture, kinetic art to the circular economy, classical music to modern art, and Dutch cheese to centuries of history—our experiences cover a vast range of topics, led by passionate locals eager to share their knowledge and stories. These regenerative tourism experiences not only offer a deeper understanding of the Netherlands but also contribute to the preservation of its cultural heritage and support the local economy.
Authentic Encounters Beyond the Tourist Trail
For those seeking more than the standard tourist experience, ADE offers something different: small-group, personal encounters that foster real human connections and promote community engagement. Most experiences are designed for intimate groups—typically between one and eight participants—ensuring a truly immersive and interactive experience that aligns with the principles of sustainable tourism.
In today’s digital world, almost everything can be watched on YouTube or read about online. But if you truly want to experience a place and contribute to its sustainable development, there’s nothing like spending time with locals and participating in regenerative tourism activities. These transformative experiences not only enrich your journey but also have a positive impact on the communities you visit.
Instead of navigating crowded, over-touristed landmarks, let A Dutch Experience (ADE) introduce you to inspiring, exclusive, and tailor-made regenerative tourism encounters. These experiences give you a deeper, more meaningful connection to the Netherlands and its people while supporting sustainable practices and community well-being.
By choosing ADE’s regenerative tourism experiences, you’re not just a passive observer but an active participant in the sustainable development of the destinations you visit.
