Those people are the reason why in countries like Portugal, where I am the first generation after the dictatorship, so plenty of people that are supposed to remember how it used to be and the colonial wars, now has right wing in power. Turns out when folks cannot find a home because all the apartments are rented out to tourists, digital nomads and US citizens turning the country into new Florida, nationalism gets up on the raise. I can understand the Venetians, on my Portuguese city, I avoid city center as much as possible, childhood places where natives nowadays are treated as tourists and almost every of them have turned into tourist traps. Even though I like travelling, I also observe how bad it has become to local populations, to the point there are now even movies about this kind of over tourism. | ||
