As always it's the amount that makes something healthy or lethal, Tourism is fine, Over-Tourism is not. And while on normal levels of tourism, many people profit, over-tourism brings money to a few big places, and leaves the rest suffering the consequences like unaffordable rents.

People usually talk to me in their native language. No matter Spain, Greece, Sweden, Britain, Italy, Serbia, Croatia, Germany… I just don’t behave like the typical tourist lol

Well I did get talked to in English while in Thailand… must’ve been my nose

I'm on the memes side.

While tourists can be assholes.

It's amazing how many of these "locals" bitching, either made their money off the tourists or recently moved to town...

I have no sympathy for either type.

I visited a town that is in a great spot for cycling trips. The locals painted 🚳 on every sidewalk, hung up posters and give cyclists on sidewalks a talking-to while the main roads often lack even dashed bicycle lanes and feel really dangerous to ride on. At least there is no free car parking.
