I took a trip to Lisbon a few years ago, and met a number of people who were quite conflicted but generally upset by the social cost of the money that tourist brought. People could less-and-less afford their rents, were less and less able to live in their cities on the salaries that did not increase to match the influx of disposable income in the popular municipalities. Dublin experiences this as well in the last few years, with all of our Silicon Valley companies and investment banks continuing to expand there and push out the long-term residents. To be a humble guest in a different land is difficult and often far from the approach most tourists take in their travels, to the detriment of both visitor and resident.
