Goodbye Holland, Welcome The Netherlands

The Netherlands, historically expressing the region on the west coast of the country ‘Holland’ officially represents the whole country instead of the name ‘The Netherlands’ decided to use the name. Although the name The Netherlands was used around the world, it was not considered the official name of the country.

The Dutch administration has decided to use the name ‘The Netherlands’ as the official name of the country as part of its plan to reshape its global image, the Amsterdam-based broadcaster Adformatie reports. It was reported that the decision was made because the Dutch name was identified with drugs and Red Light Street.
