Blame tourist for all your countries problems
Refuse tourist into many Izakayas for decades
Fail to capture the tourist market for decades
Prices rise and force out much of the native population
Try to pivot to the same tourist you told to GTFO and never marketed to
???
FORECLOSURE!
Literal pottery.
Not a smart marketing decision to gatekeep Izakayas from people with money. Many tourist out earn even the most skilled of salarymen by a wide margin. Not marketing to this group has been a massive mistake, foolish.
You sound sour that you didn’t get to do everything you wanted as a tourist.
Believe it or not, most people don’t actually want to live in mass-tourism places. They like to preserve their culture and get to live their lives without competing with the whole fucking world for basic resources. Most of the time they simply don’t have other choice and tourism is the only way out of poverty. That doesn’t mean they have to love tourists. Other times is powerful interest groups not even letting locals make that decision.
