BrutalistMcDonalds posted:just lol if you don't go full Fidel Castro when playing Tropico Accurately, tourism is a good way to employ a bunch of your citizens in low-paying demeaning jobs requiring no education while pandering to obnoxious foreigners, as long as you keep them away from the slums and tin shacks the staff live in.

Australia has tons of tourism and we rarely complain about them, though we love to mock them. I suppose they have a hard time being more obnoxious than the locals.

the worst thing is posted:Tourists make a few things better and a lot of things worse. But if tourism wasn't a net positive for a country then governments around the world wouldn't promote it so heavily. Pretty much. Tourism is very nice as an additional industry in a functioning area, but when it's the only thing a place has, said place rapidly turns into a hellhole for its native inhabitants who are expected to smile and treat obnoxious foreigners like kings for a pittance.

For all its many, many issues, the SoDoSoPa episode of South Park captured what gentrification is like for the residents pretty well. IE, being perpetually under siege by noisy tourists and rich people having fun all around you that you can't afford to join in on.
