As usual, seems he underlying problem is capitalism, not people wanting to visit nice places.
I think it's entitlement. People feel entitled for some reason? I have no idea why, but they fucking do.
Its generally the people whom capitalism has rewarded who can afford tourism. And goddamn are they obnoxious about it. Maybe buy a house in your community and spend 4 months there and vote in your elections. Fuckin' scum.
Homie there's a lot of families who have to save for years to go on one family vacation, it's not all Uber rich lol.
Additionally local issues in tourist destinations like low pay for service workers is entirely unrelated to the tourism itself, rather shitty business practices.
I think there's little difference between the unrecognized harms that tourists do and the increasingly recognized harms that expats do, see for instance the Andrew Callahan Channel 5 piece recently on the flood of American expats in Mexico causing gentrification, housing shortage caused by air bnb and skyrocketing prices, along with them not acculturating and exploiting and abusing the people who natively live there any number of ways. Solidarity forever with those affected by American expats, as plenty have fled the cities to live in permanent vacation with their shady money here at home too.
But that wasn't brought up at all before now lmao. I don't disagree with what you're saying at all.
