Back to the days of mercantilism?

No cheap tourism in South European countries will be disastrous for their economy.
You can't turn back the clock bigsnake.....
The Southern European counties do not need cheap tourists, they need the tourists that spend a lot of money. Fortunately, more and more the airlines that precipitated cheap tourism are in receivership or closed.
I was in Southern Crete on vacation. There was a hotel there on the beach that catered exclusively to Swedes. The hotel was owned by a Swedish travel company. They were flown on chartered planes to Heraklion and were immediately bussed to their hotel. The buses were Swedish. All meals were included in the package. Most if not all employees at the hotel were Swedish except for the cleaning ladies and the dishwashers who were Albanians. The local economy did not profit at all from their presence. Why should we want these kind of tourists?
