Your last line betrays your entire point, that for some reason money flowing one direction is "right" and it flowing less (but still flowing) is wrong.

Perhaps just worry about how you spend your money and stop projecting morality onto other people whose circumstances and needs you know nothing about.

I think the circumstances "tourist haggling with vendor" and needs "tourist wants to experice other culture" where very well established. Whether or not I know anything about this, is an assumption that you are making without knowing anything about me.

Of course how and why and where money is spent is stock-full of morality and ethics. That's not an idea that I privately came up with myself.
