Being a tourist can be fun; you're exploring new places, you get to stay in a nice hotel and eat out a lot, you're not working and you can let your hair down. Did you ever stop to think about the people that live in these tourist destinations? It's not always easy for us, and the locals will sometimes resent the tourists for making everyday life so difficult.
