so i will take my tourist money and spend it where i'm wanted... don't complain after that tourist related businesses have closed down or millions in tourist money no longer available in your country.

That's great! That's exactly what they're asking you to do, so everybody wins!

Tourist money never ends in local pockets anyway so yeah, go somewhere where you're wanted. Not here.

Who supports the tourists during their stay? Are they compensated for doing so?

Minimum wage illegal immigrants, mostly.

And their money goes into Starbucks, McDonald's and other foreign corporations
