遊客太多不堪重負 荷蘭不再推廣旅遊大綱
Dutch tourism bosses will try to limit the number of foreign visitors as the land of tulips and windmills complains of overcrowding.
荷蘭以鬱金香和風車聞名於世。由於過度擁擠，該國旅遊部門將嘗試限制外國遊客人數。
Arguing that 'more is not always better', the Netherlands will stop promoting tourism and switch its strategy to 'destination management'.
荷蘭旅遊部門表示，“更多並不意味着更好”，該國將不再推廣旅遊，轉而開始“旅遊管理”。
Some 18 million people visited the Netherlands in 2017 - more than the country's population - and the number is set to grow to 29 million by 2030.
2017年，約有1800萬遊客到訪荷蘭，超過了荷蘭人口總數，到2030年預計這一數字將增加到2900萬。
Overcrowding in tourist hotspots, especially Amsterdam, could reduce the quality of life for local residents and turn them against foreign visitors, officials have warned.
旅遊部門官員提醒說，荷蘭衆多熱門景區，特別是阿姆斯特丹，遊客爆滿，這會導致當地居民生活質量下降，使他們反對外國遊客的到來。
Calling for 'quality tourists' who 'add value and don't cause a nuisance', the tourist board has urged a policy of 'develop and discourage' to stop attracting undesirable groups.
荷蘭旅遊部門希望吸引“能爲本國增值且不惹麻煩的高質量遊客”，並敦促推出“發展和阻止並行”的政策，防止一些不受歡迎的遊客到來。
Among the measures under consideration is a tourist tax similar to that in some destinations in Spain and Italy.
商議中的措施包括類似於西班牙和意大利一些旅遊目的地推出的遊客稅。
Local authorities are also urged to consider closing certain attractions which are popular with undesirable tourists.
旅遊部門還敦促當地政府考慮關閉一些旅遊景點，一些不受歡迎的遊客經常前往這些地方。
'Too often, the interests of the local population have been considered of lesser importance in developing tourism,' the tourist board said.
荷蘭旅遊委員會說：“很多時候，人們認爲發展旅遊業比當地人的利益更重要。”
'In order for Holland to be developed in a future-proof way, we must opt for activities that contribute to the shared interests of these groups.
“爲了讓荷蘭長久發展，我們必須讓旅遊政策符合遊客和當地居民的共同利益。”
'Particularly in cities and iconic locations, excessive pressure may impact livability, whereas other places in Holland still benefit insufficiently from the opportunities and economic impulse that tourism may provide.
“特別是在城市和標誌性景區，過度的壓力可能會影響宜居性，而荷蘭其他地區還沒有充分享受到遊客帶來的紅利，以及旅遊業對經濟的推動。”
'To control visitor flow and leverage the opportunities that tourism brings with it, we must act now.
“爲了控制遊客人數，均衡旅遊業帶來的機遇，我們必須馬上開始行動。”
'Instead of destination promotion, it is now time for destination management.'
“現在我們不能再推廣旅遊業，而是應該控制遊客數量。”
In its 2018 forecast the tourist board said German, Belgian and British visitors would make up the largest group of visitors.
在2018年的預測中，荷蘭旅遊委員會稱，到訪最多的是來自德國、比利時和英國的遊客。
American, French and Italian tourists were the next three largest groups.
來自美國、法國和意大利的遊客排在其後。
In recent years more than a third of incoming tourists stayed in the 'hotspot' of Amsterdam, long popular for its nightlife, museums and liberal drugs laws.
最近幾年，超過三分之一的到訪遊客在阿姆斯特丹的“熱門景區”遊覽，長久以來，這裏以夜生活、博物館和自由的毒品法律而廣受歡迎。
'We want to draw different visitors to different places in Holland, where possible at different times,' tourist officials have said.
旅遊部門官員說：“我們希望吸引不同的遊客在不同的時間前往荷蘭不同的地方遊覽。”
'By distributing future visitors more evenly across Holland, more regions and locals will benefit from the value of visits.'
“通過在將來引導遊客更均衡地前往荷蘭各地，更多的地區和當地人會從遊客帶來的價值中獲益。”
Amsterdam, home to 1.1 million people, attracts more than 17 million visitors a year when including day-trippers and Dutch locals.
阿姆斯特丹有110萬名居民，而每年到訪的遊客超過1700萬人，包括一日遊遊客和荷蘭當地人
But, in a sign that the problem is not getting people into the city but managing the crowds, the city’s Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum are breaking from attending a major US travel convention at the end of the year.
但該市的阿姆斯特丹國立博物館和梵高博物館將不會參加今年底在美國舉辦的大型旅遊會議，這也顯示出該市將控制遊客人數。
In a symbolic move last year, an enormous sculpture spelling out “Iamsterdam” was also removed from the square in front of the Rijksmuseum.
在去年的一項象徵性行動中，阿姆斯特丹國立博物館門前廣場的大型雕塑Iamsterdam也被拆掉了。
The local municipality is also seeking to halt the growth of hotels, souvenir shops, ticket sales outlets and cheese shops. Schiphol airport’s capacity is to be capped and passenger vessels are to be moved out of the city’s center.
市政當局還打算停建旅館、紀念品商店、售票點和奶酪店。史基浦機場的接待能力也將被限制，客輪將不得駛入市中心。
Tourism earns the Dutch economy Euro 82bn and in 2018 accounted for about 761,000 jobs – one in 13 jobs in the Netherlands – but there is also concern over the environmental cost.
2018年，旅遊業爲荷蘭經濟帶來了820億歐元（約合6228億元人民幣）的收入，創造了大約76.1萬個工作機會，相當於在荷蘭每13個工作機會中，就有一個是旅遊業創造的，但人們還是擔心這帶來的環境成本。
The tourist board in the bulb region of the Netherlands has had to start fencing in fields of tulips due to damage created by the scourge of selfie-seeking tourists.
