A city gift card is putting the spotlight on independent shopping and local spending in The Hague. According to the municipality, the Den Haag Cadeaukaart can be used at more than 60 participating shops, specialist businesses and hospitality venues across the city.
The idea is to keep spending within the local economy while giving recipients a choice of where to use their gift. It may also offer inspiration for residents looking for a locally focused present as the festive season approaches.
In its 6 November announcement, the municipality said economic affairs alderman Richard de Mos is due to receive the first card at Hop & Stork in the Passage on 10 November. The event was intended to draw attention to the participating entrepreneurs and the role of local shopping.
Before buying a card, check the current list of participating businesses, validity period and spending conditions. Not every business in The Hague is part of the scheme.
