Amsterdam is fed up with its tourist deluge. The Dutch city attracts all types of visitors—whether they’re coming to party or visit tulip fields— but in recent years has become a victim of overtourism and has tried to cap its number of tourists. Last year’s “Stay Away” campaign was part of its efforts to discourage travelers from tainting Amsterdam with their “nuisance,” as Deputy Mayor Sofyan Mbarki put it. Now Amsterdam is planning to crack down on cruise ships too. bit.ly/3RVTmvn
Pretty sure this will come back to haunt them. Too bad. It’s a wonderful city. Much improved since the dark days of the 1980s. I will miss it…
Kind of makes me want to move there...
Bravo! More cities should do this.

1wI wish San Diego would do this, as much as we take in with tourism, I say keep it. I just want to enjoy where I live peacefully. Alas, one can dream 😴
