> it doesn't benefit me to have tourists come to my city That's unlikely to be true. Any city with tourists benefits from increased economic activity that helps fund city services through hotel or short-term rental taxes, as well as tourists spending their money in the city and paying sales taxes. Cities with a healthy tourist economy can also support more museums, bars, restaurants, and other kinds of amenities; without tourists there just isn't the customer base to support as much.
