Amsterdam Campaign Urges Rowdy British Tourists to Stay Away

A local government campaign launched this week in Amsterdam urges young British men dubbed “nuisance tourists” to stay away from the city.

The Stay Away campaign will initially target British men aged 18 to 25 who want to travel to Amsterdam for stag parties, pub crawls, and cheap hotels, Gemeente Amsterdam said on Tuesday. Visitors searching those terms online will instead be served with warning ads highlighting the “risks and consequences of nuisance and excessive drug and alcohol use,” including fines, arrest, and hospitalization.

The campaign could be extended to target other European countries in the coming months, the government said. Credit: Gemeente Amsterdam via Storyful
