I suspect it’s mostly tourists leaving the garbage. People usually don’t literally trash the places they frequent. Tourists don’t follow rules.


Well, that depends very much on the tourist and their own community culture.

Although I understand your point, it is easier to be selfish outside one’s community.


People are entitled and lazy. I’ve seen many locals litter, especially dog poo, but the majority outside my house is from the temporary sleepers whether tourists or van lifers. Substance users are the worst offenders - I pickup so many cigarette / joint butts and beer cans.


But like do tourists even have a community ? I don't think you are making sense here. Tourists are from everywhere, every one of them think the problem is the other tourists.


They hopefully have one at home :)


I really do wish people treat these places like their home. However, even people in my immediate circle, are just expecting other people to clean up for them when they're on vacation :). I don't know, something about traveling just turn on switch.
