Abstract
Many cities try hard to attract visitors for the benefits it brings to the local economy. Amsterdam is one of the cities that became extremely successful in terms of visitor numbers. However, with a high influx of tourists, there are also issues that were brought with it: overcrowdedness, unwanted behaviour, nuisance etc. Municipality of Amsterdam, realising how these issues affect the locals’ quality of life in the city, came up with new measures to combat them (strengthening neighbourhood identities, mixed-used development and more). Therefore, this paper aims to answer how is tourism management improving Amsterdamers’ quality of life? by conducting interviews and analysing Municipality’s policy document. Amsterdam’s experts on the tourism industry in the city were participating in the interviews. The results showed some noticeable changes (mostly regarding redistribution of the tourists) as well as how valuable and promising many measures are, however, the measures are too recently implemented to be proven fruitful.
