Travel

Entering the Dutch travel industry? We know the market and the people.

PitchBridge helps travel companies enter and grow in the Netherlands and Belgium, from market entry and sales to business development and account management. We know how the market works and hold the conversations ourselves.

Local representation

No sales capacity of your own in the Netherlands?

Then we can go into the market locally for you. We book meetings, visit partners, look after relationships and follow up.

That way you build your position in the Netherlands and Belgium without setting up your own sales team straight away.

How we help: Sales outsourcingBusiness developmentMarket entryAccount managementMarket research

A good product isn't enough. You need to know who to get in front of.

The Dutch travel industry runs on relationships and the right channels. That's where we work every day.

How we work

01

We know how the market is structured.

Who sells what, through which channels, and how decisions are made at tour operators, travel companies, retail chains and networks of independent travel advisors.

02

We know where to start.

Not every tour operator, chain, advisor network or distribution partner suits your product. We focus on the organisations where your product has a real fit.

03

We go into the market ourselves.

Introductions, conversations, visits, proposals and follow-up. We do that ourselves.

04

We stay involved after the introduction.

Account management, training, activations and building relationships further.

Who we work for in travel.

For Dutch travel companies that want to grow, and international companies that want to enter the Netherlands or Belgium.
