> it doesn't benefit me to have tourists come to my city Not sure where you live, but generally tourists allow for a greater amount of restaurants, bars and cultural institutions than the same size city without much tourism. Not to mention hotels! Those things are employers and tax payers which helps the local economy. Often they are in core areas subject to business improvement area (BIA) levies that pay for public events and public art. In short: tourists can be annoying but they generally are positive.
