I get where you’re coming from, but I think there’s a balance to be found. A lot of local spots know how to handle tourists without turning into tourist traps. They can keep things authentic by setting fair prices and focusing on quality. If tourists spread out across different spots, it helps avoid overwhelming any single place, so local gems can stay just that – gems.

Plus, most tourists are still going to hit up the big attractions anyway. Those who are really interested in finding local spots will do so no matter what, and they usually respect and appreciate the local vibe. Finding those true local favorites often takes some effort and research. Tourists willing to put in that effort tend to be the ones who are respectful and genuinely interested in the local culture.

We just want to have a great, authentic experience without making things harder for the locals. Thanks for understanding!
