When I first started posting about travel here I think it probably sounded deranged. But now stories like this are everywhere. Travel culture is turning the world into theme parks. It destroys locations, as locals become servants to the tourists, and can’t even afford to live in their own countries. The entire livelihood of a place becomes dependent upon running your entire city or country as a permanent theme park. As the image tourists come to see. When the tourists get bored and move on to new places to ‘see’, it leaves the places ruined.
