Eh, blaming tourists for your local capitalists reorienting the entire economy around them is missing the point. The productive response is to use your government to restrain the capitalists so tourists don't have a negative effect.
Tell that to a lot of 3rd worlder who can't afford local prices anymore, but it seems like many of you frequent fliers dont think or care about your consumerist behaviours.
I'm sorry tourists own all your local businesses and keep raising prices on themselves and you. Do the tourists also control your local government so you can't build more, denser housing and better transit?
Yep, this is a classic issue that could be solved if you have a government that cares about protecting you. You can control how many tourists you let in your nation.
This mythical government could exist
Napal, Tibet, Tajikistan all limit tourists severely. Meanwhile I buy breakfast in Hanoi from between <1USD and 15 depending if I go to a place that serves locals or tourists. In places where there's competition, I can pay like 2-10USD a night for a bunk to an entire apartment. In places where the local capitalists use the local government to increase their profits at the expense of the workers, I generally avoid because fuck that.
