Consider the alternatives. Capitalism is lazy. So if there is a living to be made from tourists of course people are using that as a resource. But there might be a lot of different ways to create a working economy there and its bring hindered by the incumbent called tourism.
Like we (the global north) is fucking up the clothing market for the global south by dumping (donating) our old clothing and completely destroying the chance for a working economy in that sector.
Bring on the downvotes.

If the same people that complain about tourists would suggest anything and actually actâŚ
Like, yeah we have alternatives (kind ofâŚmany little town have nothing else than tourism) but no one seems to do anything tbh

Its not a binary State. You donât switch it on and there is a ready made economy. It has to develop. Needs and supplies and developing of capabilities and the expansion of all three above. It takes time. And energy. And most likely a few losses and hardship. None of these steps are bring taken If there is an alternative. Although annoying and probably not sustainable and definitely not self governed.

No shit! Where i said that?
I know perfectly this because i lived in some of these turist town and heck, the region i come from survives on tourism probably, and i an telling you, most people that complain will likely do nothing to improve the situation (eg: opening some bussiness that isnât made around tourism), maybe they will even make the situation worse by arrassing some tourists
