Resumen

De la saturación turística al subturismo... ¿y de vuelta? Esfuerzos por gestionar el recrecimiento turístico en el Ámsterdam de la postpandemia


Ámsterdam es una de las muchas ciudades en las que se han combatido los problemas del exceso de turismo en los últimos años. Estos problemas incluyen molestias, hacinamiento, aumento de los precios de la vivienda y dependencia económica del turismo. Los administradores de la ciudad, conscientes de estos problemas, tomaron medidas antes del inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19, como imponer restricciones a los alquileres turísticos (Airbnb) y desplegar campañas para abordar los problemas de mal comportamiento de los turistas. Sin embargo, cuando el COVID-19 detuvo el flujo de turistas que visitaban Ámsterdam, se creó una oportunidad única para realizar cambios más drásticos, que la administración ha abordado al proponer una nueva serie de medidas para ayudar de manera proactiva a contener el rebrote del turismo en el período posterior a la pandemia. En este artículo analizamos críticamente estas estrategias para determinar en qué medida parecen capaces de abordar los diversos problemas del turismo excesivo previo a la pandemia a los que están dirigidas. Nuestro análisis demuestra que, si bien las tendencias de antes de la pandemia están aumentando y se les da más prioridad, también se están implementando algunas estrategias nuevas para frenar aún más el crecimiento del turismo. En general, Ámsterdam sigue dominada por un enfoque de la planificación turística orientado al crecimiento.
