>ok yes I know the only thing stopping my country from sliding back into a total third world shithole are the firstie tourists visiting and pumping up our banana republic-tier economies but they don't learn my whole language before their 5 day holiday so tourists fuck off !!!
>tourists seethe this hard when locals shoot them with their super soaker toys for the bantzchill pig skin lol
>>216629913I don't know that much about Greece and Portugal, but Spain and Italy have very productive economies, not that dependent on tourism. And I say this as someone who's not against tourism. I think it's mostly a leftist issue, they blame housing prices on landlords and vacation rentals (which don't make up more than 1% of the houses) instead of immigrantion, which, in Spain alone, has pumped around 10 million people in less than 20 years.
>>216630120Tourists out! Refugees welcome!
>>216629913I live in an economically depressed part of the country, but I’d rather have that if the alternative is turning my city into Disneyland for foreigners.
>>216630152Yup, that could be Barcelona's motto. Not even joking.
>>216629913You can just not go there, who gets mad at someone not letting them into their house?
>>216630213firsties are that entitled, both chuds and lefties
>>216630189I know. Still love the irony behand that motto. It's like saying "Firefighters out! Pyromaniac welcome!", while they complain about fires everywhere.
>>216629913italy is an industrial and agricultural power house. no one goes there for tourism.
>>216630411I’m as chuddy as they come, but let’s not pretend like tourists provide more of an economic boon than permanent residents
>>216630536This, so much this. How can amerilard tourists compete with doctors and engineers from mena, pakistan and Afrika?
>>216630626How is the city going to make money during off-seasons for tourists? Who’s going to work in the factories, farms, or sewers now that your country is aging out?
>>216630732This, so much this we need to import third worlders to keep alive a useless infrastructure because the native population, this way we can import even more doctors and engineers! The economy and society will greatly benefit
>>216630798Just turn them into chuds who harass and beat up black people like what we did with ours
>>216630183>Disneyland for foreignersThat's how Lisbon feels these days.
The countries in the meditarrean have always been prosperous due to their location just look at Naples during the XVI-XIXth centuries (the mediterranean sea is one of the most calmest seas, thus very good for commerce)They lost the advantage against northern europeans due to capitalism but this was actually a temporary advantageAs they develop the same industrial prowess as northern europe, in cojunction with their geographical location, they will start to excel & even surpass many northern european countries, which is already happening, the so called PIGS are now leading the economical growth in the EU
>>216629913Exactly, total guiri death
>>216629913Wait until you find out that tourism is 14% of our GDP.
