I suppose that's always the question with increasing mass tourism - is the spending being spread around to benefit everyone, or being concentrated while locals are annoyed by the numbers of visitors?

What is it about tourists wanting to take cases the size of fridges on their travels??? I'm always tripping over them on high-speed trains in Europe, where there really isn't enough room for them. What on earth do people need that much space for?
