Tourists not knowing courtesy or basic human decency isn’t restricted to any economic class. Japanese tourist hotspots have suffered from this since forever.
Tourist hotspots have suffered from this since forever.
Tourism is a cancer and generates nothing but misery for the people living in beautiful places. Oh and I guess it increases tax money for the government officials to live their pockets with.
Get the fuck out.
My usual walk takes me through a portion of a popular hiking trail that crosses the entire country.
That short time I am on the trail before dipping down to my usual small path is nothing but poop bags tied to branches.
Tourism is a cancer and generates nothing but misery for the people living in beautiful places.
It also generates money (through tourism-related jobs) for people living in those places. I get our frustration, and governments should absolutely be doing a lot more about overtourism, but plenty of ordinary people benefit from tourism.
If your area can only survive due to cancerous tourism, then it’s time to move. Tourism not only makes life shit for the residents because of tourists, it also increases living costs for the people. Any income you get from it is immediately lost on everything else.
