Hoje de manhã, em Amsterdão, o slogan "IAmsterdam"
foi removido do seu local em face do Rijksmuseum.
Este slogan materializado ao longo de 14 anos numa escultura
de letras gigantescas e símbolo da promoção do turismo massificado e global,
foi removido por decisão do partido 'Groen Links', o maioritário no Municipal. Amsterdam
que marcar assim claramente uma nova fase onde deixará de haver promoção
turística e que ilustra uma política progressivamente crítica em relação aos
malefícios do turismo massificado e já bem patente na neutralização e controle
da AIRBNB ( no próximo ano só será permitida a ocupação por 30 dias ao ano )
"GroenLinks councillors say the slogan has become a
symbol for mass tourism and individualism in a city which stands for solidarity
and diversity."
Iamsterdam no more on Museumplein, but letters are still at
Schiphol
Society December 3, 2018
The letters were removed early in the morning.
One of Amsterdam’s most photographed tourist attractions,
the red and white Iamsterdam letters, were removed from their usual position in
front of the Rijksmuseum on Monday and taken into storage. The decision to
remove the letters, which have been a popular draw with tourists for 14 years,
was taken by the left-wing green party GroenLinks, now the biggest on the city
council. GroenLinks councillors say the slogan has become a symbol for mass
tourism and individualism in a city which stands for solidarity and diversity.
According to the Parool, just a few school children and a lot of press
photographers were there to witness the letters being removed. The paper says
tourists who do turn up to photograph them will be told by specially-appointed
hosts where they can find other sets of the letters. The city owns five in
total. One set is next to the Sloterplas lake in the west of the city, one in
the south-east and one at Schiphol airport. The Iamsterdam website said the
letters had been removed from their Museumplein location ‘because they were
drawing too big of a crowd to an already limited space.’
