The willy Dutch are Just be-
ginning to find out what Henry
Hudson was really after.
With all Of Henry's intre-
pidity, leaders in Amsterdam's
relatively young tourist indus
try were in town last week with
new inducements intended to
keep the American traveller at
the top Of the list in Hollands
ambulatory imports.
American tourism to Amster-
dam, capital city of the Neither
lands, tripled in the last 10
years and in 1860 topped the
visitor registers.
Understandably, they want
more-"get in touch with the
Dutch"
Actually, the slogan is one
phase of a three-part induce
ment program at the get-to-
know-the-people level under
which tourists may visit with
Dutch families. Describing it at
a luncheon one day last week,
j. N. Strikers, director of the
Amsterdam Tourist Association,
said that over 500 families In
the city are now cooperating
without cost. Virtually all speak
English.
See Diamond Cutting
A second phase is the new
"Minitours." Assuming you're
using Amsterdam as the
European gateway and have
several hours to wait.
The 'Minitours" offer 200
minutes of sightseeing such as
going to the auction halls to
watch the flowers arrive by
boat or stepping in for a look
at the diamond-cuttin
"See something besides the
walls of the airport"
Frankly admitting the Amer
lean tourist is "very difficult
to please, but very desirable
to have" Mr.. STRIKERS told of
hotel expansion to provide $500
new beds, including construc-
ton Of the new Amsterdam
Hilton, the Apollo and renova-
ton of others.
