Seems to me they're angrier at the institutions and companies who cater more to tourists at the detriment of their lives. But that's happening everywhere
-
Eh. A good tourism strategy benefits tourism and the local people. If it's annoying them this much - tourism needs to change.
So will the city make changes? Or will the people make sure no one wants to visit?
-
Work contracts and low wages are prevalent in southern Europe. Add high taxes not coming from tourists and this compounds further.
Without governments pushing a dynamic work environment where workers can switch to a better job, there's not a lot that's going to change.

nice try
No, we've seen what the gig-economy has done in the US, we would like to keep our work-contracts.
-
The UK has tried it. It's working great for them!
They'd tell you themselves if they could still afford an internet connection.

They want to be more affluent than surrounding towns and monopolise beauty spots, entertainments, and culture but they don't want to share - I mean yeah of course rbey want that but surely they understand no one else will support them in it?
Move to somewhere not as touristy, oh you don't want to because you like the stuff that is a draw to other people too? Crying shame.
-
It's their home. Why should they move?
-
Because they don't like other people being around, it's a simple choice if you want to live somewhere quiet then you move somewhere quiet you don't have the option of telling everyone else that they can't enjoy a beauty spot or city.
Especially when plenty of other people there choose to be there because it's popular.

I'll be happy to stay away from those places. I don't want to go where I'm not welcome. Just need a list to find out which places are unfriendly.
America itself is pretty big, with a lot of cultures. I'd traverse the mainland before visiting Europe.
Are you implying that everyone on lemmy is American or are you inviting everyone to visit it?
But you'd still be in America.
