Forgive me for being naive or ignorant, but what is it that you are alluding here? That the wealthy who are international travelers affect the socialization of the countries they might visit (I am getting this from the highlighted comment in my quote from you)?

Many countries are geared towards tourism. It is what keeps the economy afloat. They welcome it; they need it; they want it; they advertise for it. When we talk about things as such, we need to look more closely at the entire picture, not just the tunnel vision of what we see on the surface. What might be misconstrued here truly does not represent all of the aspects of the example.

We are not leaving carbon footprints that purposefully could be damaging. We are simply enjoying ourselves, emerging ourselves into another culture and learning to appreciate more what we have as well as to share that wealth through different venues.

Again, just my opinion as I see it.
