Yeah and the small minority of tourists who do spend much more always go there in the first place. Aside the fact that are also about all the tourists in the entire country, it is death everywhere. Maybe one day they understand that it is better to have 10 million tourists spending 1.5K USD than 500K spending 3K. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Karma80 Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Just off the top of my head, but I imagine the average unhealthy sex tourist would spend more. On booze, company and sick buffalo, compared to someone more virtuous drinking smoothies and doing yoga.

Okay, but looking at the big picture, what good is that when you can attract just a few thousand of them? That's always a problem with TAT projections. They look at a well-heeled sample group and just multiply whatever they spend on average with an outlandish number of similar visitors they hope to attract. When in reality, the number of equally well-heeled visitors falls way short of their grand plan. Rich people have many options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
