1 ~~~ Tourism and coronavirus: What happens if your favourite destination doesn't want you back? ~~~ "I love Amsterdam," everyone always gushes after their first trip to the Netherlands. The canals, the laneways, the coffee shops, the bars, the flowers, the windmills… of course you love Amsterdam.
But does Amsterdam love you?
Over the last few months I've been watching as residents of the Netherlands' most famous city have celebrated the reclamation of their busy streets. Though the city has been in lockdown in the same way so many of us have been restricted, there's been a cautious joy from locals in the experience of streets purged of the tourist hordes, in the feel of parks free of frolicking visitors, in the witness of bars and cafes without the boozy foreign throngs. www.traveller.com.au/tourism-and-coronavirus-what-happens-if-your-favourite-destination-doesnt-want-you-back-h1phr1 ~ 22 July 2020 ~
