I'd be happy if they just stayed out of the bike lanes.

Or at least not get offended when you have to brake hard because they wall walk back into the bike lane trying to get a picture of a freaking cathedral 5 meters in front of them.
Yeah, I lived in Barcelona, is it obvious?

Who is economy?
I am!
The cruise tourists benefit my life in no way. They come off the ship and buy a stupid shirt that says Canada on it from one of the Chinese owned gift shops then they go back onto the boat and dump sewage into my ocean.
Can't even go to tofino anymore as a local who literally subsidizes all that infrastructure with my tax dollars. Have to compete with the rest of the planet for campsites and can't even enjoy my own backyard anymore
Don't even get me started on the amount of literal human shit littered across the island at the end of summer
Nah fuck the tourists, nasty animals

College town permanent residents when me and my university homies would roll into a local joint.
I wonder if you could get away with some kind of payment for locals in tourist heavy locations, like the Canary Islands are HEAVY tourist locations. Stick a tourist tax on hotels, holiday rentals etc. and a large property tax on villas owned by foreign companies and non-Spanish citizens, and then distribute that money to any local working and living on the islands as a flat "Dealing with the tourists" payment. Couple that with lower/no taxes for locals that are employed on the islands (not just those that own property and rent it out) and that might make things seem nicer for them.
After a long enough time, it eventually becomes part of the culture. People in the Virgin Islands are super nice to tourists, even if they don't work in a typically tourist-facing job.
IMHO the resentment is when they can remember a time before tourism.
who's
\sigh
Strange. Scrolling through all these comments and no one pointed out colonial tourist countries. Like how do you even defend tourism in general when shit like that exists?
Reminded me of when took my boys to Yellowstone. On the way we stop in a town that 100% would not exist without tourists. Yet every restaurant and diner were actively hostile towards us. Fucking locals could not stand that we were there and they refused to serve us. We left and had to get breakfast at a McDonald's few towns away.
shop local <3

Yeah our town has more tourist capacities than actual residents. It sucks to live there in the summer. Traffic out the wazoo and fucking tourists who cannot even be bothered to speak english when adressing you everywhere.
