steinrokkan posted: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. there are lots of irish pubs where i live too and its not because british tourists

the trump tutelage posted:My Cancun experience was gross and I hated being waited on by over-eager staff almost as much as I hated how over-the-moon our resort restaurant waiter was when we were tipped him $20.00 i mean you did tip your waiter the equivalent of 5 days of minimum wage, thats easily more than the rest of his earnings for the day go to playa del carmen or isla mujeres or tulum next time, cancun sucks

We were in Playa del Carmen, actually. Nice enough, we got to walk around the town a bit. Tulum was cool.
