Is there anywhere you are hesitant to travel right now due to local backlash?
I've always been someone who wants to see as much of the world as possible and I love to interact with the locals wherever I go. However I'm becoming more conscious of the disdain and resentment towards tourism in certain places and it's beginning to inform where I plan to visit in the future.
For example I've always been extremely interested in visiting Mexico City, but there is currently widespread animosity towards US tourism due to numerous factors. I question if it's respectful to visit when there's so many locals clearly saying not to come. Hawaii is another huge one, especially with the history of colonialism and cultural erasure.
Has this been tough to navigate for anyone else? In a sense, most large travel destinations have negative feelings towards tourism - where does one draw the line?
