    I’m a digital nomad in south east asia and I lived in villages, industrial towns etc and I can 100% say that locals have a much better life in tourist towns.

    There’s a reason tourist towns have so much immigration because people actually want to be there despite vocal minority raging on the internet - the stats don’t lie.

      Sure. Only, what you’re saying reinforces what I said. Rich immigrants like you, from higher economic class, as well as rich locals and those capable of serving them, enjoy tourist towns. Duh.

      No need to take into account those locals unable to work in those industries.

        Nope I speak for the local pov of my friends not of my own. People legit dream to move to tourist areas here because life is legit better. You don’t have to believe me, just google real data. Would you rather work in some unregulated factory or take tourists snorkeling? It’s a no brainer.
