Yeah, I’m sure the average person living in a tourist town gets tons of dividends from the extra taxes and capital earnings. It “trickles down” or whatever the kids are calling it these days.
I grew up in a tourist town, and it actually does. I loved being able to use services made for 200 thousand people in a town of 14 thousand.
Like you get a small-ish town, but you get multiple supermarkets competing and driving prices down, you get dozens of restaurants you can go out ot and order from. You can get groceries at 3AM. Hell, I moved to a non-touristic city of 400 thousand later, and I had worse services.

It trickles down so hard that corporations are kicking you out of town by buying up everything and price fixing the rent.
