11 Countries Where Tourists Are No Longer Welcome

3. Amsterdam, Netherlands: Curbing Nuisance Tourism

Amsterdam is actively trying to deter certain types of mass tourism, specifically focusing on "nuisance tourism" associated with drugs, alcohol, and disruptive behavior in its Red Light District and city center. Beyond bans on cannabis smoking in public and restrictions on pub crawls, there's a broader campaign to attract more culturally-minded visitors. This isn't about closing doors entirely, but about reshaping the city's image and visitor demographic, ensuring a higher quality of life for residents and a more respectful tourist experience.
