The European capital that will no longer allow the construction of new hotels

Amsterdam will no longer allow the construction of new hotel buildings as part of the fight against mass tourism, the local government said on Wednesday (April 17th).

"We want to make and keep the city livable for residents and visitors. This means: no overcrowding, no new hotels and no more than 20 million overnight stays by tourists per year," said a statement.

A new hotel in Amsterdam can only be built if another hotel closes, if the number of beds does not increase and if the new hotel will be better – for example, more sustainable.

However, the rule does not apply to new hotels that have already secured a permit.

The city has actively tried to limit the number of tourists, who number in the millions a year, mainly by discouraging sex and drug tourism in the red light district.

This is the latest in a series of measures that the Dutch capital has taken to alleviate the issue of overcrowding in the city.

Last year, the Amsterdam City Council voted to ban cruise ships and close its cruise terminal.

The city also banned the use of marijuana on public streets in the red-light district and ended guided tours that passed by the windows of sex workers.

According to a 2021 ordinance called "Amsterdam Tourism in Balance," the city council is "obliged to intervene" when the number of tourists reaches 18 million people.
