Posted in: Surge in inbound tourists pushes Japan to explore dual pricing See in context

Plainly and simply: Discriminatory. Racist. Unfair. Even the 1 tourist interviewed, from Sweden, acknowledges this. "Special English assistance"? Am I handicapped? Google translate, thank you. AI translation thank you. I would definitely walk out of any place that tries to apply dual pricing. IG-FB-Google review shame them too.

Anyone comparing tourist tax or publicly funded (from city or state taxes) parks/ attractions to this dual pricing has no clue what they are talking about. I live in Thailand and have never seen dual pricing in restaurants, hotels, etc. Yes in publicly funded state parks/ temples/ museums. For the rest, if you go "local" you pay local price. If you go air con+ fancy luxury stylish, you will pay "hi so" price... which Thais will also pay.

What hypocrisy and lack of learning these countries show when crying 3-4 years ago "the economy is suffering from lack of tourists" from COVID and now "we are suffering from too many tourists so we need to charge them more".
