It's somewhere in the middle, probably. People talk about wealthy foreigners, tourists and so on "bringing money to an area" as if that money is being uniformly dumped from a helicopter onto everyone. That's never what happens. It goes into the pockets of a relatively small handful of people/businesses, those people will spend a fraction of it, and downstream people will spend another fraction, and so on. It trickles a little, but the entire community is not benefiting uniformly.

That's what I suggested in my heavily downvoted comment - "Maybe the tax should be imposed on the landlords' windfall profits instead?"
