Travel Coordinator Services

Here is how this works in practice. We supply travel coordinators who manage the movement of crew and cast to, from and around the Netherlands. Our travel coordinators book flights, arrange hotels and longer-stay lodging, schedule airport transfers and ground transport, and keep travel aligned with the shooting schedule and the CAO collective-labour-agreement framework. They handle the records a global shoots needs and keep travel spend tracked for shoots claiming the Netherlands Film Fund's 35% cash rebates.

Here is the layout. Because the country ranks first in the world for English proficiency, a travel coordinator deals with Dutch airlines, hotels and transport suppliers in English on the production's behalf. We match the travel coordinator to the scale of your shoot and integrate them with the production office from prep.

Here is the short of it. The Netherlands is exceptionally well connected, which makes the travel coordinator's job easier. Amsterdam Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in Europe, with direct routes worldwide, so crew and cast can reach the country fast from almost anywhere. Once on the ground, the country' compact geography and dense rail and road network keep internal travel short. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht are all within an hour — and the country's EU and Schengen membership removes border friction for crew arriving from elsewhere in Europe.

Here is how the work shapes up. Lodging options range from global business hotels to longer-stay apartments in each production city. We draw on travel coordinators who know the Dutch hospitality and transport market and can keep a touring production moving smoothly.
