Yes, the locals who work in industries that directly benefit from the influx of foreign spending love it. The criticism will come from a few directions I think:

1. The same people who are highly concerned about economic inequality and "social justice" within western countries today.

2. Locals of developing countries who do no benefit from the foreign spending or are even hurt by it (e.g., middle or upper class locals who lose their relatively privaleged status to foreigners).

3. Local men who see foreigners as "stealing" their women.
