title: Assessing residents’ perceptions of tourism in Amsterdam
creator: Vegter, L.J.
description: After a period of enormous growth, the city of Amsterdam welcomed 7,3 million visitors with an overnight stay in 2016. As a result of this growth, the city gets flooded with tourists, impacting the lives of local residents. This thesis researched what the perceptions of local residents are on overcrowding and nuisance caused by tourism in the city. Based on a survey and literature review, tourism was found to be beneficial for the city and in terms of employment also for residents. On the negative side of the spectrum, tourism is experienced to cause overcrowding in terms of the amount of people in the street. In addition, loud and drunk tourists were reported to cause the most annoyance.
