Authorities wants to move them to outskirts of city
A "Stay Away" campaign is prepared to launch this week targeted at young British men, warning them not to come to Amsterdam if they won't behave.
Amsterdam has launched another attack against what it has dubbed "nuisance tourism" to the city. The latest is a marketing campaign meant to target British men between the ages of 18 to 35 telling them they should "stay away" from the capital if they are only looking to "go wild," particularly in De Wallen, the old city center which includes the Red Light District. The campaign is part of a package of measures put forward by the mayor and aldermen, which was adopted by the full city council in December.
