Comment on Norway adopts tourist tax to combat overtourism
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 4 days agoTourism only benefits the owner class. It doesnt benefit the other 99% of the population. In fact it actually takes space and money away from citizens.

It depends on the location. Tourism does generate some employment; some cities have been built on tourism as a base. The problem is that most tourism jobs are low wage. However, if your region doesn’t have any other kind of economic engine, it may be the best thing to develop.
