- fxtentacle 7y agoOur neighbor is actually one of the better hosts because he still lives in the same house as his guests and talks to them in person. And he is trying hard to limit the bad effects from his guests, but with little success. The dogs are only one of many problems. As another example, in some countries it is still customary to throw your trash onto the main road where it will be burned at night. Most of the issues are due to guests that have a very different culture and do not speak German, French, or English. For newly rich Chinese, the host is understandably at a loss to explain our dos and donts. We also tried picture signs for explaining the dogs issue and there's a government-paid waste bag dispenser nearby. But a large part comes down to laziness and ignorance from the guests. If you never have to pick up your dog poop at home, would you do it while on vacation? Would you still do it even if nobody is watching? The peak of that attitude are UK tourists, notorious for their entitled "I am on vacation so I don't give a sh" approach. UK partying groups overdid it to the point where governments prohibit direct flights to keep them away. So how do you plan to re-educate them for a 3 day trip? In my opinion, the only good option is keeping impersonal tourists out of the residential areas. If they stay with friends and family, they will behave. But if they stay anonymously, no way to make them behave. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/858025/majorca-protest-mass-tourism-palma-without-limits-there-is-no-future https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/858025/majorca-protest-...
