And something that a lot of tourists come for. However, my stance on tourism is that the quality of tourism would improve. |

|
|
STRAP: 08:52 ERIC Cannabis Cafe Manager |
ERIC: (23:06) So
it's really an Amsterdam thing. If people come from other countries and the
first thing when you think Holland, 00:23:40 the attraction of Amsterdam, of course, it's the coffee shops. It's very well known all over the world. |
|
|
|
Eric: (23:58) |
|
|
Break up with coffee
shop Olay |
Evan: (24:32) WHAT ARE THE GOV PLANS FOR
SELLING MARIJUANA IN COFFEESHOPS Eric: (24:36) Well, all over Holland .you
have to be a Dutch person to buy weed in a coffee shop. Foreigners are not
allowed anymore in those shops. Eric: (25:56) our new mayor Halsema, she's
trying also to apply that rule in Amsterdam. Evan:(26:10) Right. And how far progressed is that planning? Eric:(26:18) They're still working on it. Our mayor wants it one way or the other But at the end she's the mayor so she can decide. Evan: (27:03) What would be the impact of that change? What would happen to the coffee shops? Eric:(27:11)It's going to be huge. 27:33 Another thing is that all of the streets in Amsterdam, especially in the center, also in the Red Light District, they're all orientated on tourism. (27:45) So if you make the coffee shops only accessible for local people, then the tourists are going to stay away. 28:20 They want to try to get rid of the Red Light District in the center. |
|
|
Break this up with
upsot instead of VO |
VO:
ERIC AND OTHER CAFÉ OWNERS BELIEVE THAT RESTRICTING THE SALE OF CANNABIS TO
LOCALS WILL ONLY DRIVE FOREIGNERS TO ILLEGAL DEALERS |
|
|
|
Eric: (29:30) the buying of marijuana from people that
still are coming here, is not going away. They still want to buy so what then
happens is that you |
|
|
|
00:20:27 The best thing to do, is sit
here and have your smoke.
It's nice and you're comfortable. If something happens we can help
you, It's
a nice environment (20:46). It's a safe environment |

JASON IN-SITU IV STRAP @11:41 JASON smoke boat host |
Evan (01:46:08): How important is the coffee shops and the smoking and the marijuana, in drawing tourists to Amsterdam? Jason (01:46:29): What I always say about Amsterdam,
the three crosses on the flag, would say sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
That's what Amsterdam looks like for me. Everyone is here to have a good
time, to be themselves,do what they cannot do in their countries. So, it's a
big part and a big role of community. |

Evan (07:20): the government is proposing, closing
the Olav (07:29): Well, um, that would probably mean that in the end, if the window prostitution is taken away from here and moved to another place, it would be one attraction, major attraction in this neighborhood, less. So maybe, hopefully, probably there would be less, uh, attractive for the mass tourism. Olav (06:07) Evan (07:00): Right So for you, this is more about mass tourism than it is about window prostitution Olav (07:04): And the role of the window,
prostitution as an attraction, as an important factor for tourism to come to
Amsterdam. That's, that's what it's all About. If everything is allowed,
which is fine - it is not a license to misbehave - (Link to |

Olav (25:47): Well, Apart from the safety issue, I
could say, well, do the sex workers now ever realize or acknowledge that
they're being here also contributes maybe might contribute to the bad living
conditions in the neighborhood for net, for local citizens. And if they
realize that that is the case, would their answer still be the same? Or would
they say, I don't care. |

THOUGHTRACK Yvette (03:05:20): sex workers also benefit from less
cheap tourism and more high-end tourism. Um, but yeah, that's not about us
moving away. It's about, uh, making sure that if, if you are, if a drunk

This raise a lot of safety concerns, and because of all those people in this small area, all the other challenges arise. Lieke:Siren. You can't push through. If you push through it, people will fall in the water. The only thing you can do is walk and run and try to, "Hello, please, please get out of the way." Bradeep: Make room, make room. Make
space. |

Evan: [00:46:38] Obviously one of the big attractions of De Wallen is
the Red Light District. If it was closed in De Wallen, would that help
relieve the pressure? Bradeep: 00:46:58] Yeah, that's a complex question But on the other side, what Leeko already said, if the windows are removed, they lose their workplace. So where will they go? Lieke: [00:47:13] And they're still going to do their jobs. Bradeep: So, and then they'll go underground. |
