Hot take but tourism economy is the best economy and best quality of life.
Tourism encourages the best values:
It's up to communities to learn to manage it but well managed tourist spot is legit one of the best place to be a human in. I lived in tourist towns almost all of my life and it's the best, especially in seasonal places where you have a low season vibe with communities just chilling and enjoying the rewards of high season.
The real issue stems from corruption where instead of managing this golden goose someone manages to squeeze all of the eggs to their own pocket and leave the rest unmaintained.
And one pandemic and your entire economy is dead
One boat stuck in a canal has had the same effect on other industries.
Historically mass plague has been far more uncommon than shipping/supply chain catastrophe. To an absurd degree.
Making tourism economies one of the most stable over the longest period of time. They also bounce back faster and more efficiently.
While also being less prone to permanent damage or shifts from a mass upset.
