See Amsterdam's newest campaign urging drunken British tourists to 'stay away' 

In Spain they know the tourist season started when the first Brit falls from a balcony.

Drugs "and" alcohol. It is this sort of messaging that lets people underestimate the danger of alcohol.

Good. Brits can't handle their alcohol. It's embarrassing.

As a Portuguese man, It's not uncommon to see tourists from Germany, France, Spain during the summer etc. The British on the other hand, are just unfortunately a bit too much. In my experience, British people (middle aged and elderly) are really good people and usually well behaved and cause little troubles. Unfortunately, their youngsters are the problem here. It's as if all the under 30s, teens and mid 30s adults just come here to get really, really drunk to the point that it's dangerous not only to their health but to others around them. They come here, not all of them, to get "a one night stand"and drunk with their mates. As you know, alcoholism breeds violence hence the issue with them not only in Portugal but in my neighbour, Spain. I think all of this stems from a few observations me and my Portuguese family have seen, they are not a family oriented people. They highly value independence from such a young age. This is both good and bad. On one side of the argument, being independent at a young age makes you grow and be more mature. However, there is a massive danger here. If your kids are taught to be sulf sufficient, independent at a young age with minimal supervision from your parents what do you get? Young adults, teens that think they know it all without the guidance of their parents. Studies have shown that the human mind is only fully developed until their mid twenties. The British parenting style is a problem. It's as if their friends are their family. They don't value family as much as we do. In Portugal, likewise nearby Spain, Italy and Greece we are raised to be not only close with our families but friends with them. For instance, I'm friends with my uncles, aunties, cousins, siblings and parents. We socialise on a week by week basis, we go out with each other, we visit each other's house, we eat out with one another. This is universal within Spanish culture too, Greek and Italian culture as I've lived in their countries for a few years. Family is the root of the British problem. 🤔

Traveled to Amsterdam from the Hague via train and when I got out of Central Station a British couple who looked like they had quite the life experience asked me if they were in Amsterdam so yeah I get it.

I read something similar concerning Spain who wish to go upmarket, and not wanting boozy Brits spoiling their image.

Stereotypes are usually correct. You can hear the British exceptionalism from the interviewed lads thinking the Brits are the only ones spending money when they are abroad and for that matter they are immune to social barriers, great job Netherlands for dealing with these clowns, Spain, Portugal and France needs to follow.

Respect the town, city and country you are visiting. I thought this is basic.

If there is illegal behaviour, arrest the suspects, deport them and don’t let them return but why get upset if somebody (most folk) are actually behaving within the bounds of the law ?

Great to see someone taking a stand against drunken bums and druggies. Good !

Nice, New York should do this next for the way brits treat our servers and waiters

Can't say I blame them. Some tourists should remember that when abroad, they are guests.

where is it being shown? im seeing lots of news sources talking about this campaign but i cant even find it, potentially its mostly non brits seeing it. and of the clips ive seen it doesnt mention brits at all

same people foam at the mouth when they see hard working east europeans working in their country

Lol judging by their denial, things aren't going to change soon. Best of luck to the Netherlands, Spain, and any other country that accepts British tourists.

British tourist in Thailand die. Jay Bridgehouse was rushed to hospital after a crash between his motorbike and a pick up truck in the early hours of February 26... It's just one fresh example.

Great stradgey. For years they advertised to come. Make up your mind.

Everything is 2x more expensive in Amsterdam then the rest of Holland because of the tourists

I'm a ex-brit,now Canadian planning to take my new wife to Amsterdam. It is a great walking city, at least it was when I used to go in the 80's. After seeing a few stories like this one, I don't think I'll bother.

It is discriminatory. Discrimination just means choosing one thing over another.

just dig a trench around the place and let it float off

Not just British tourists. Stop blaming everything on us all the time

I was in amsterdam just 1 month ago.. I was totally fine.. just stoned, very tired and hardly not drinking - I'm English. We are not all out of control drunks.

What about all the Africans selling coke there blatantly

Problem has been solved. Amsterdam is long ruined. 20 years ago - ok. Now? Not worth it.

Amsterdam created a hedonistic lifestyle in the red light area and now complain about it after profiting for years.

amsterdam is overpopulated city with bad infrastructure specialy amsterdam north 22 milion inhabitans with tourist every year they ferries can not handle this amount of people the goverment do nothing for dutch people you have to suffer under this. Money speculations rich people rule the world amsterdam is kinda dysneyland with bad infrastructure 22 milions people whole year 10000 % overpulated its not nice place to live an work high cost living quality is worsest in europe that is amsterdam nothing special about this city its a pain

That will really work. Stop selling alcohol and drugs. Then nobody will show up

They’re the same everywhere no matter where they go. It’s because the U.K. is a repressed nation and they let it rip once they get out

I went to amersdam and I nevér saw this behaviour

Wow, if you think you have it bad in Amsterdam, with people basically having a holiday and leaving. Try living in England, with half of eastern Europe setting up shop for good.

Sadly we can target people by gender or citizenship but not race. "Stay away Arabs" or "Stay away Muslims" would also help tho.

I'd stay away from Holland simply because of the way it's government has treated it's farmers. A country that has strict restrictions on private firearms ownership, saw a Dutch police officer fire on a Dutch farmboy during a protest. Utter hypocrisy and disrespect of it's people.

What did they expect? Amsterdam has been known for years for drugs and hookers. And suddenly it's a problem, I agree it's a bad look on the public image for the country. But it feels so out of touch.
