Aiming to combat mass tourism, the construction of new hotels has been banned in Amsterdam.
The city council in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, decided that it would no longer be possible to build new hotels.
The ban on hotel construction was in force in various parts of the city in the past, but has now been made permanent and covers the entire capital.
According to the media, this decision aims to limit mass tourism in the city, which is visited by several million tourists every year.
According to the decision of the city council, a new hotel can only be built in the future if another hotel closes, the number of beds cannot be increased, and the new hotel to be built will be better and more sustainable.
