In fairness, “you ARE rich”
most tourists don’t realize how rich they are for being able to travel and don’t really understand poverty and the depths of poverty that exist in other countries.
Sure, but back in the home countries the rich are not fleeced for their money for regular services and goods.
People are willing to pay more money but the "I am entitled to your money" makes it feel like they are being taken advantage of.
They might as well go to a relatively more expensive country(more expensive than the "tourist prices" in india) to avoid feeling othered.
Yep, it feels unfair.
