Tourists always act like assholes according to the locals. The local customs aren’t always understood. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a single place who says they love the behavior of tourists— except perhaps the people benefiting from those tourists.
The article mentions people jaywalking, which is annoying but seems pretty innocent. Trash, etc… the solution is clean the trash up… using all that tourist money. A solution could be to tax the tourists or the tourist industry. But I think we know that most governments are corrupt and only a fraction of that money will ever make it back, and even then it will probably be embezzled or misspent. I get it though, I used to live near a tourist area and they were so fucking annoying. But the only solution would be to get rid of tourist attractions, and some of those attractions are part of the local culture.
Yeah all those empty cities covered in concrete are awesome investments and great for the environment.
