Still completely incapable of providing a valid, cogent and coherent counter argument.
Really making a dick of yourself now mate.

You clearly dont know or realise exactly what goes on under the skin of these tourist areas, if you did you'd know it goes far deeper than just the owners of tourist businesses.
I've already told why I'm so well qualified to make that statement of fact, based on 20 years of living and working in a community that's been ever more blighted by tourism.With classics like this...." and the only people who financially benefit from those tourism businesses are the tourism business owners " I really don't need to.

With your whining about how hard done to you are as a holiday let owner you've already clearly demonstrated your complete lack of knowledge and understanding of the sector.

It's what holiday rental owners do best, spending 20 years in an area blighted by nasty tourists, you should know that. Just to piss you off a bit more, did I mention I own a commercial laundry aimed solely at the tourist industry. God I love tourism...I've already told why I'm so well qualified to make that statement of fact, based on 20 years of living and working in a community that's been ever more blighted by tourism.

It doesn't piss me off at all, I welcome your acknowledgement that the tourism "industry" is a closed economy that provides no overall benefit at all to anyone other than tourists and tourism business owners.It's what holiday rental owners do best, spending 20 years in an area blighted by nasty tourists, you should know that.

Just a little bit more upmarket than Blackpool, but still have to deal with scummy degenerate tourists and the whiney, entitled arseholes that are tourism business owners unfortunately.You live in Blackpool fella doing donkey rides ?

If you include local bars and restaurants in your" tourism business owner " umbrella then I agree. I also think it's better for said tourist area to have holiday lets than holiday homes that only get used 2 weeks a year by their wealthy owners yet the government are making it harder for businesses to be viable. Most holiday let's if sold will be snapped up by wealthy people and turned into a holiday home turning most areas into ghost towns. This homes for local people is bollocks. No first time buyer is gonna pay close to half a million for a home near the coast in Anglesey. For one there's hardly any work there.It doesn't piss me off at all, I welcome your acknowledgement that the tourism "industry" is a closed economy that provides no overall benefit at all to anyone other than tourists and tourism business owners.

How interesting.Nope.
What you singularly fail to understand is the tourism "industry" is an entirely closed economy.
All those tourism businesses are only there to serve the interests of tourists and the only people who financially benefit from those tourism businesses are the tourism business owners.
All those Orcadians who aren't tourism business owners (ie at least 95% of the local population) are left socio-economically worse off as a result of tourism and I'll guarantee thats exactly what they'll tell you if you actually ask them.
1.On cruise ship days they employ more staff, staff who wouldn't have been employed otherwise. Benefit.
2. The money that comes in from cruise ship days helps keep prices down during the rest of the year. Benefit.
3. Local craft firms, and its a heavily craft led economy, sell more items. Meaning they can pay wages. To people who work for them. Who produce more stuff. And maybe take more staff on. Benefit.
4. This also helps keep old traditions alive as well. Benefit.
Tourism comes in many forms though...if you buy Orcadian whisky from Amazon...then you are an Internet tourist and help keep the economy flowing on the islands. Money in equals secure jobs, secure jobs eequal confidence and increased spending. Big benefits.
It's a very good business model and one that has worked all over the world.
I could tell you about a mate of mine in Shetland who has a rather nice business dealing with wool, wool he gets from his sheep, wool that is quire popular around the world, wool that has provided an income to himself and the 20 odd people involved in the process. Some of which used to be unemployed due to fishing going down the pan. But I won't. I mean, it's obviously not going to help you understand or indeed change your mind.

Again, the word Bollocks keeps springing to mind.It doesn't piss me off at all, I welcome your acknowledgement that the tourism "industry" is a closed economy that provides no overall benefit at all to anyone other than tourists and tourism business owners.
I employ 4 girls, one of which runs her own contract cleaners employing 6 staff, we all benefit and make a living from tourists. I buy my supplies and services from local firms, they benefit and make a living. The holiday rental provides an income for a cleaner, a window cleaner, a gardener, a log supplier, the local heating oil supplier, the local waste disposal firm, a handy man, they all benefit. And that is just the first and second layer, below that are the shop keepers, the pub and restaurant owners, the petrol stations, the farms selling farm produce, below that are the tradesmen that provide their services into the tourist trade....builders, roofers, sparkies, plumbers, fisherman, farmers, plus many many other peripheral businesses, all benefit.....
and you're still convinced that the only people who benefit are the owners...bollocks, the whole community benefits and if you cant see that, you have an issue.
