People employed due to tourist revenue are angry about tourists. That’s some real funny stuff .
Seriously … how long do they think they can sustain a museum with just local visitors? Like are they expecting regulars? Do some Parisians just want to look at the Mona Lisa once a week?
The Louvee workers have been complaining for years that they are understaffed and unable to handle to massive amounts of tourists that come in. If your office keeps piling more and more work on you while you are already overwhelmed, you can’t function properly.
Mass demonstrations also broke out in Mallorca, Venice, Italy, and Portugal’s capital of Lisbon, per the AP, with locals leading chants like “Everywhere you look, all you see are tourists.” The objection the residents have to the visitors is primarily their role in causing an affordability crisis, leading to things like housing costs skyrocketing as homes are sought after to be listed on Airbnb and other short-term rental markets

People aren’t annoyed with regular tourists, but with completely and utterly regarded morons.

Yes they are. That’s literally what the article is about.

Yes, but the management isn’t caused by tourism.
Because it is a bad headline trying to undermine a labor union
It says “phone-addicted” in the headline. Doesn’t sound like pleasant, educated people to me. Sounds like morons.
You STILL trust headlines?
