Mine (Lakeland, FL) sure as hell isn’t. A lot of tourists drive through it on the interstate, though.
This place is great for sight seeing if you’re looking for meth heads with neck tattoos and ankle monitors. |

Yes, tourism is a big part of the economy in San Antonio.
When you consider that a new class of basic trainees graduates every week, there are always a bunch of families coming in to town. There are always conventions and meetings too. The riverwalk is full of tourists, especially at night. |

Sorta. A couple of distilleries here that folks stop at on the bourbon trail tours. Not much else to see unless you're into white trash pill heads.
|

I don’t think of it as such but sometimes when I’m downtown people are walking around taking pictures and I’m like wtf are those dudes photographing
|
|
Henderson, no. Right next door is the epitome of tourist destination, however.
|
|
Outside of DC, so yeah...but tourists aren't the driver here. Government and Tech are.
|
|
YES!! and has a College... it is all sorts of hell right now
|
|
Charleston so quite a bit. A lot of them liked it so much they decided to stay.
|
|
Oddly, yes. Columbus IN is a tourist destination for architects and architecture enthusiasts. They even made a movie tangentially about it.
We also host an amazing number of little league tournaments. |
|
My hometown of Santa Barbara is. When we visit and go out, I can immediately tell most of the people are coming in from LA. The downtown has never been busier at night.

Because of its historic importance, the city is a common vacation destination spot with around 42 million visitors annually. Some of the most historic sites in Philadelphia include the Liberty Bell, a symbol of freedom, and Independence Hall, |

Hell, yeah. Tons of tourists year-round, but we all win with extra sales and packed venues during the busiest months.

Tourists only come through here on their way to the peaceful side of the Smokies.
Just beyond that is a tourist hell. |
|
No. People don't know where I love when I tell them. Even if they are from this part of the state, they still won't recognize the nearest town. There is nothing to see here. At most, a motorcycle drives though to check and see if that particular day is a good day to donate his organs.

Nat Geo claims its the happiest city in America.
multiple magazines claimed it was the #1 town to live in for years in a row. Got a spare $1M for a bare lot? -then you too can think of building a tiny bungalow in this town |
|
Hell yes. I’m so glad it’s almost over for a while.
It really diesels down after thanksgiving. But come mid February spring break starts right back up. |

View Quote Unfortunately my business relies on tourists and with my getting hurt on June 1st and not be able to work, its going to SUCK this winter! |

We only get a sort of. 60 miles north of YNP, so busses of Asians coming through all summer.
|
|
Yes and it sucks. I fucking hate tourists.
It seems like everyone becomes really stupid when they go on vacation. They can't drive worth a shit, walk properly in public or comprehend basic manners. |

Where I grew up is a tourist area, at Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. Mom still lives down there not far from Bagnell Dam and I go home to visit her. The "Strip" on the dam used to be a lot more fun, but most of the tourist trap stuff we used to have is long gone. They used to have Fun City USA, a small theme park with a rollercoaster, a ferris wheel and other rides, an arcade, etc. We had "Two Bit Town", a strip of buildings done to look like the old west, with a wax museum that had painted room backgrounds done by my Dad, who was an artist and sign painter.
They had a maze back behind it, a water slide, mini golf, and "The Rebel Arcade" with tons of games and bumper cars. Now it's restaurants, bars, small tourist shops, definitely not as fun as it used to be. I think they have also long since stopped the evening "dance cruises" on two boats called the "Larry Don" and a fake paddle wheeler where they'd have rock bands play as the boats went out. Those were fun as hell. |

I live in New Orleans. It’s a tourist town or food destination....
|

I spent years and years living in several tourist towns. There was always a steady stream of fresh wimmenz, but these days I don't miss the crowds.

Sidewalks here have signs directing people not to left lane camp while walking. Assholes.
