A few places have worked to reduce tourism, or at least I've seen a few stories about it. Part of it, I imagine, is the attack on social trust. More often than before, it seems that instead of seeing other people as an opportunity and as a pleasure (and we are social beings, going all the way back to our primate ancestors), they are seen as threats. And as people seem to have forgotten human rights, that we are all equal, they seem to indulge in outlawing those they don't like (what could go wrong?) - unhoused people, addicted people, people who look different, people who believe differently, etc. I'm interested in the economics of it: Other people are not only a social opportunity but indeed an economic one. In one major European city, it was claimed that overnight bar-hoppers didn't provide much economic benefit, but I wonder how true that was, including for hotel/motel and bar owners.
