Who is protesting the tourists? Is it rich people living at the locales who do not rely on tourist dollars?

LOL, “We Don’t Want Tourists!”, now “We Need Tourists!”

Cuba used to be the go-to vacation spot for sun and fun before the Communists claimed tourism was capitalist exploitation of the locals. I had to read some of their ‘literature’ in Spanish classes - stories about fat American turistas coming to Havana and expecting to be waited on by the impoverished
peons.

The three young guys in that photo won’t be picking up any hot young ladies on that deserted beach.

Interesting.
One of the biggest party locations in the Med has burned their cash cow.

Anyone else wondering if those so-called protests were astroturfed...

Cui bono.

Yep. One of my favorite places, Mallorca. I went there on liberty in the US Navy, took my wife there on our honeymoon, and went back again on our second honeymoon when we renewed our vows.

They are complete idiots if they reject their tourism. They are going to find out what real poverty is, because there isn’t any real industry there other than tourism.

I have always felt that Cuba could become the vacation paradise of the word if they simply rejected communism and embraced capitalism. But they won’t.

I read the article but still don’t understand the reason for the anti-tourist protests.
