Can High-End Travelers Save Amsterdam From Overtourism?

It's easy to see overtourism as simply a numbers game: too many people in a particular space at any one time. Cities are often caught in a difficult position. They might want to limit visitors, but this could cause a significant dip in revenue. There are a few ways around this. They could tax tourists, as many destinations have started doing. It might not stop the crowds from coming, but at least it would raise some money, possibly even enough to buy off angry residents with the promise that the incoming funds might benefit those who actually live in the destination year-round
