Its sad - for all of us

Why is it sad?!
Do you prefer crowd, noise and contamination/garbage associated with the influx of tourists?
Do tens of thousands of tourists do good for the coastal ecology and quality of life?
I am of a different opinion.
Current wave of violent crime against gringos is a very bad thing for sure. But less tourists - should be welcome.
