Traceable decision record

What was compared and what the system found

Question

Should Amsterdam expand tourism, reduce it citywide, regulate specific impacts, retain the existing course, or cease the relevant activities?

Result

The comparison selected regulation of specific local impacts and service capacity. It rejected a citywide visitor count as the sole organizing target because pressure and improvement differed materially between districts.

What changed the comparison

The model compared five strategies and traced differences across districts, housing, public space, services and financing. In the recorded financing comparison, property-tax financing created lower modeled liquidity pressure than an additional tourist tax.

Limits and further work

The result is tied to the recorded evidence and modeled consequences. District data, implementation effects, service capacity and financing consequences remain subject to revision as the research develops.
