There are different kinds of tourists as well. Shuffling hoards of cruise ship passengers out on a day trip to snap their Instagram selfies with a few landmarks and buy some mass-produced tchotchkes from the gift shops before returning to the ship for dinner has a massive impact on quality of living for locals (and even other higher value, lower impact tourists) while doing very little for the local economy.
I really hope when this is over we see a global end to the bargain mass tourism that's been causing so much damage to cities around the world in recent years.
