> I was highly skilled migrant/expat, now "naturalized Dutch", and work for Booking.com -

Interesting. We may know each other. Are you C-suite?

> so I know a thing or two about tourism (beyond just traveling myself).

Appeals to authority are always suspect, but it takes staggering arrogance to claim employment at Booking.com as your authority on the economic impact of tourism. But you know the old saying about making a person understand something when their pay cheque depends on them not doing so.

> Tourists least, digital nomads a bit more, and expats even more - use public infrastructure.

You have this order exactly backwards, with tourists using proportionately the most public infrastructure, and residents the least.

While I agree that appeals to authority are suspicious - no idea how "I know a thing or two about tourism" could be interpreted as claiming "authority on the economic impact of tourism".

So far your views/opinions seem to be very "black and white". And beyond stating them - I'm yet to see anything to support or even just explain/elaborate them.

I'm not C-suite - I gave up on management track long time ago.

I'm still waiting to see how/why my order of who's using public infrastructure is wrong/opposite.

Care to explain?
