Abstract
The number of tourists in Amsterdam is growing, and so are the effects on the residents. In this study, the effect of overcrowding, partly caused by tourism, on the mobility pattern of residents of the city centre of Amsterdam is investigated. Not only in Amsterdam but in several cities, the presence of tourism is influencing the lives of the residents. A well-known example is Venice, where several effects on the mobility pattern have been found. The situation in Venice will be compared with Amsterdam based upon four mobility indicators: trip aggregation, modal split, route choice and time of the trip. With surveys of 61 randomly chosen residents, the stated preference is collected. The results of this study are supplemented with the findings of studies done by the municipality of Amsterdam looking into the perception of the city and the tourism situation.
