Question

John doesn't like the fact that his hometown is invaded every summer by strangers. he knows that the town's economy is dependent on tourism, but he keeps his distance by avoiding contact with them. john's attitude toward tourists demonstrates a _____ attitude of residents toward tourism.

Answer 1

disheartening - because if the town is dependent on tourism and many locals are unfriendly, they won't return for a second time and tourism will decrease in that town. Since John is upset about tourism, he also talks to local residents about the invasion of tourists, brings it up at town meetings, and could start a downward trend towards a major economic portion of his town
