Thanks for the encouragement.
I think the indigenous tourism has grown exponentially in just the last decade or so. I don't know whether most people have even listened about it before that. I can clearly see that Latin America and Africa are doing very well to attract for indigenous tourism.
Dealing with foreigners isn't a big deal. They always remain in limits in a foreign country.
I grew up somewhere with a lot of this kind of tourism, and locals almost always dislike tourists. People are much better at resentment than they are at gratitude.

That's US for you. It's not same everywhere. Can you imagine the same disliking for tourists in third world countries, especially when an American or European is there. I say and I feel, the Latin and African people are more tourist friendly. Indians are the greatest hosts though ;)
reply
I can imagine it, because I've seen it in Latin America. I get it too, tourists can be irritating and not everyone benefits from their presence. It's very easy, and very human, to overlook the good in other people while focusing on the negative.
reply
Yes, I agree.
Do you think the wealth of American people has something to do with this negative attitude towards tourists?
reply
I'm sure it's part of it (Americans are very entitled), but I think people just don't like having outsiders traipsing through their communities, gawking at them like zoo animals.
reply
I agree.
But the Latin Americans and Africans see tourism as an economic opportunity, they don't mind such an encroachment.
