| Tulip Time Festival Recognized as Top Event in North America |
| Wednesday, January 25, 2012 |
| If you didn’t live in Holland and were to take a bus tour to Tulip Time how much money would you spend each day? An internet search of tour companies offering trips to Holland for the festival shows an average cost per day right in the neighborhood of $200. With about 50 travelers per bus that means that each bus brings in a whopping $10,000 payload. Of course some of that cash goes into the account of the bus company but a good share of it goes to regional hotels and restaurants and gas stations. Then each of those passengers gets off the bus at local venues. They buy tulip bulbs, delftware, and wooden shoes. They visit the Marktplaats and buy bleacher seats for the parade. They pay admission to attend locally produced performances. They shop downtown, pick up trinkets for their grandchildren and eat the traditional local cotton candy and caramel corn. |
