You're not a socioeconomic class, you're a single individual.

I'm visiting "blue spaces" every year, multiple times (I live in a landlocked country). I know for a fact (worked in tourism industry) that literally every socioeconomic class here spends a significant amount of their income to visit "blue spaces".

Yeah, the more affluent people can afford better places with more people working for their comfort, but that doesn't change a thing about the poorest just packing their car and going by themselves, staying in a tent right next to the "blue space" if they have to.

I commented because the article is good enough that there might be discussion nearby that covers the benefits of the coast controlling for socioeconomic class. It’s not in the article, and it’s relevant to whether or not I justify a trip/s to the coast. The implied benefits sound wonderful obviously.

If you’re in the tourism industry, maybe you can help? I find your comment antagonistic and my feelings are hurt, but I also understand that internet culture sucks and/or you may not have meant it as such.
