Tourism
The tourism industry forms a substantial part of the economy in Texel. Approximately 70% of activities on Texel are in some way related to tourism. Popular forms of tourism on Texel include cycling, walking, swimming and horse riding. As is the case with much of Northern Holland many of the residents can communicate in English but most travel literature and restaurant menus are in the Dutch and German languages only. The VVV tourist information centres though are very helpful.
