It’s so weird seeing people who don’t live in tourism heavy areas going “oh ur complaining ab tourism??? Yet your whole economy depends on it. Curious.” Yeah idiot why do you think we’re complaining
This isn’t about annoying tourists, if your country is in the G7 and/or its economy doesn’t collapse in itself during a short lockdown, shut up. This is about supermarkets price gouging everything because western tourists can afford it (but fuck the locals) and cops telling us to fuck off when we make complaints about rude or loud tourists that’d get locals fined, because tourists are especially privileged and God forbid they decide not to spend more money here. This is about the fact that some people can’t live because of tourism, but can’t live without it either, because everything depends on it, including people’s income. This is about countries where even people with “regular” jobs have to rent out their homes. This is about countries where home prices are rising to the point of becoming out of reach to locals because foreigners are buying property as vacation homes or to rent out.
