Lived in Banff for 18 years. Some days those tourists are just the fucking worst; feeding animals, littering, having fires anywhere they want. I got real possessive of my home. But the many are decent, outdoor lovers who don’t suck.

I live on a sea side resort in UK. It's a big and very popular one and gets crazy busy in the summer. Some of the visitors show us just how bad humans can be. Litter everywhere, some people just leave it all where they were sitting on the sand. Some people buy tents and just leave them fully pitched and leave full of all their rubbish. Parking, people just park wherever they want even though they shouldn't. Yeah they get a ticket but I guess they think the price of a ticket is worth the convenience of parking somewhere stupid.

Fires are also a serious risk here. On the heath and woodland it is signed everywhere no smoking, BBQs, etc. and yet people still do.

I'm sure there are visitors who are respectful and decent, not everybody is awful. Also a huge shout out to the volunteers and workers who tidy up after these people leave. And the fire services who deal with heath fires every year.

When I went to Banff many years ago, the chipmunks near our lodge were the fattest that I'd ever seen. It was obvious people had been feeding them and they had become dependent on it. Very sad.
