Explanation: As a part of €200,000 tourism rebranding, the Netherlands has officially announced to drop the nickname ‘Holland’ from January 2020. Even the Netherlands’ Board of Tourism and Conventions is also scrapping its symbol featuring a tulip, the national flower, and the word “Holland” and replacing it with a new logo that has an orange tulip and the initials “NL.” The govt of Netherlands has instructed the companies, embassies, ministries and universities to refer the country as its official title ‘the Netherlands’.
