In Search of Authenticity:
What's the Difference Between a Traveller (sic) and a Tourist?
In an age of unprecedented foreign travel, tourists get quite a bad rap,
not least from tourists themselves.

Though the vast majority of tourists are reasonably well-behaved there are
some who clearly are not; some cities, such as Berlin and Barcelona, have
tired of tourism and started taking measures to mitigate its impact. Even
the better behaved tourists, by dint of the numbers they travel in, can
have deleterious effects, on both the environment (as in the case of
Macchu Picchu) or on housing for locals (the city of Paris is quite
reasonably fearful that the Airbnb boom is pricing ordinary Parisians out
of the rental property market).
.
Even the atmosphere at football matches is said to suffer, as more and
more fans from distant shores attend big games. They might have plenty of
enthusiasm but they usually lack the intimacy with the clubs fanbase,
including its chants and traditions, and are more passive spectators. But
few countries can afford to turn their noses up at tourists, least of all
those hit particularly hard by recession in recent years, such as Ireland,
Greece, Spain and Portugal.
.
Lisbon has witnessed an explosion of tourism in the past five or six years
and parts of the city centre are as clogged with tourists as Venice or
Barcelona; some spaces are almost entirely the domain of transient
foreigners and though Lisboetes remain friendly and welcoming to tourists,
grumbling has begun at municipal level at the invasiveness of the
phenomenon in residential areas and the City Hall is expected to intervene
to keep tourism sustainable.
.
Further north in Porto, one of the citys most celebrated bookshops has had
to change its entry policies to deal with the waves of tourists. Livrar
Lellos regular appearance on listicles of the most beautiful bookshops in
the world has drawn huge numbers of visitors but most are more interested
in Instagramming the gothic wooden interior than in the books (most of
which are in Portuguese). These pictorial homages dont put bread on the
table so the bookshop last week started charging non-paying customers a
small fee to enter.
