With examples including De Efteling theme park or the Keukenhof - famous for its tulip gardens - the most popular attractions in the Netherlands attract large numbers of national and international visitors every year. However, many Dutch leisure and cultural venues were significantly disrupted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020, suffering a sharp drop in attendance. While De Efteling remained the most visited attraction in the Netherlands in both 2019 and 2020, its number of visitors dropped from 5.2 million to roughly three million over that period. Meanwhile, the Keukenhof, which attracted over 1.5 million guests in 2019, was closed to the public in 2020.
