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.
Spain and Italy come to mind. I’m from NYC and while I might not like tourists in my way, I welcome them and help them find their way around town; tourists are a not insignificant part of the NYC economy, and also I’m a strong believer in hospitality

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.
