Amsterdam News Briefs: Canal tour boats caught speeding. Also: the large-scale conversion of empty office building into hotels results in a surplus of hotel rooms.

Houseboat owners, as well as others who live along the canals, have also long complained about noisy sound installations and rowdy boat passengers.
