    Pshhhh, America is streets ahead of you guys, nobody wants to vacation here anymore!

    “People who go on vacation to one place or another are not our enemies, nor are they the target of our actions,” he said. “Let me be clear: our enemies are those who speculate on housing, who exploit workers and those who are profiting handsomely from the touristification of our cities.”

    Ok maybe you’re handling it a little better.

      I think it is just a different way that tourism is handled.

      A lot of tourism within the USA is handled in specific tourism districts/cities. In cases where tourism is big in cities not built for tourism like New York and Philadelphia, there are still districts in the city that locals gave up in exchange for having other districts that aren’t as deluged by tourism.

      In Europe, the tourism district is usually the most important historically and culturally.
