First ‘digested tourist’ spotted at Amsterdam Central, but phenomenon seems extinct | Inland
Since Queen’s Day was changed to King’s Day on 2013 (which means we celebrate it three days earlier), ‘ferment tourists’ in Amsterdam annually. Completely dressed in an orange outfit, they look around sadly: ,,Where is the party?”
The first fermented tourist of this year has already been seen by humans. Lost with a briefcase, he walked through Amsterdam Central station on Saturday, various people report in the Telegraaf tip line. The man got a lot of views and a lot of people laugh.

Old travel guides
The fact that better tourists are emerging in the capital is due to the old travel guides. The old Lonely Planet said we Queen’s Day celebrate on April 30. The date has been changed a year later. In 2016, a consolation party on a boat was even organized especially for these ‘victims’: the Missed the boat partywhere revelers could sail a boat on an all-orange boat with bells and whistles.

Yet it seems that the one lost tourist at Amsterdam Central is the only one. The phenomenon of ‘digested tourist’ seems to have died out. An employee of the StayOkay Hostel in Amsterdam says that they have not seen tourists in orange dungarees on April 30 for years. Nor did she spot any fermenting tourists on Saturday in the NH Hotel in the capital, an employee says on the phone. ,,We really only pair this in the first years.”
