Making special accommodations for Global North tourists only really enriches the wealthy in the Global South. It may provide a few hospitality industry jobs, but I suspect that, all told, it’s a wash or a detriment to regular people just trying to live their lives.
It's a detriment to treat women like humans and not sexual objects to grope?
No, obviously not. Don’t essentialize all accommodations down to the singular issue of groping women tourists.
What does it matter where they come from?
It’s not so much a matter of geography as the thickness of their wallets and the chauvanism of people from colonialist/neocolonialist states.
I would've been more concerned about the attitude and manners of the people and not so much about what their country has done in the past, regardless of where the country lies on the globe.
You say that as if the Global North countries have stopped doing neocolonialism. They haven’t. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neocolonialism
