i don't know how much of their economy is tied up in tourism but i don't see how visitors for parts of the year are ruining their lives
You have presumably never been around the English when they are pissed + in a mob.

The :ironicat: how it went from a anarchist hotspot to a tourist trap for fat drunk Brits and other undesirables.
The International Brigades were the first tourist trap when you think about it

The problem isn't with tourism per se, it's with tourism that is hostile to the locals. With tourists who use exclusive tourist only bars and restaurants that replace original local establishments, with tourists who have no desire to coexist with the locals, and with the businesses that cater to them and push others out of tourist areas. I swear if I see yet another local place converted into an "Irish pub" for rowdy Brits who then proceed to vandalize the surrounding areas, I'm going to flip my poo poo.
As any fool knows, Irish pubs are neither the fault of the British nor the Irish, it's a saffer thing.

doesn't the VAT tourists pay on the various stuff they buy go into social services that benefit these people? (universal health care, cheap education, and all that other good eurosocialism stuff)
Not when the ECB Troika is breathing down your neck, no. It's used to pay back very high interest government loans the government didn't actually need while the social services of your country turn to like africa grade poo poo.
