Embassy of India The Hague Press Release April 29, 2019 Bollywood on a Boat - a tourism promotion initiative by Indian Embassy enthralls the Amsterdamers on Kings Day “Bollywood on a Boat’, a novel initiative to promote tourism to India on King’s Day - April 27, (the biggest national holiday of the Netherlands) was a huge success for a second year in a row. Daring the rain and the wind, around 50,000 revellers in boats and on the banks of the Canals witnessed the colorful sight of the boat sailing with Indian dancers inviting people to travel to India. The boat with the dancers and Dhol players sailed through the three main canals of Amsterdam - Prinsengracht, Leidsegracht and Reguliersgracht covering more than 100 km for over five hours. An initiative of the Embassy of India in The Hague in association with India Tourism, the Boat was decked with banners of Incredible India and the upcoming International Yoga Day celebrations on the side. The boat evinced great interest from the crowds who were captivated by the colourful performances. Dancers from the Netherlands Marathi Mandal staged Dhol, Lavani, Bihu, Bhangra and Ghoomar (folk dances from different parts of India) while members of the Tandav Dance Academy showcased Bollywood dances on the boat. The boat was flagged off in the morning by Ambassador Venu Rajamony who described the “Bollywood/Folk Dances on a Boat” as a colourful and novel addition to the canals of Amsterdam which are the most popular tourist attraction of the country. Prominent members of the Indian Community of Amsterdam joined Ambassador Venu Rajamony and other officials of the Embassy at the flagging off. April 27 is celebrated as King’s Day, a national holiday in The Netherlands in honor of the birthday of King Willem-Alexander. The day is marked with nationwide parties, flea markets and concerts. In Amsterdam the streets and canals burst with orange – the national color - as the “Amsterdammers” enjoy the biggest street party of the year. ********.

Using Agent-Based Modelling to Explore the Influence of Canal Cruise Docks on the Crowdedness in the City Centre of Amsterdam
Using agent-based modelling to explore the influence of canal cruise docks on the crowdedness in the city centre of Amsterdam Final thesis for GIMA August 11, 2019 Nina Jensen Solid-id: 6203353 Supervisor: Dr.ir. A Ligtenberg Responsible professor: Dr.ir. RJA van Lammeren Wageningen University & Research 1 2 Abstract In the last years, the crowdedness within the city centre of Amsterdam caused by tourists has come to a point where it is causing nuisance and discontent to the residents of Amsterdam. The Municipality of Amsterdam has tried to find solutions to this problem, such as a halt on new hotels within the city centre and by promoting the outer region of Amsterdam it hopes that tourists will spread out. A new measure of the Municipality is to ban the boarding and disembarking docks of the canal cruises from the city centre and to relocate them outside the city centre. This thesis examines the effect of this imminent policy. An agent-based model was developed to research the influence of the locations of the canal cruises on the crowdedness caused by tourists in the city. The developed model simulates the movement patterns of tourists that take a canal cruise based on two scenarios: one with the current dock locations and one with new dock locations outside the city centre. The agents in the model are based on an operationalization of the actual tourists in Amsterdam. The results from the model show that the relocation of the docks could lead to the spread of tourists towards the neighbouring areas of the city centre.
