The subtext here is that some people hate it when the poor can enjoy things. I know it sounds like a joke and that it's hard to believe, but that's what's happening.

Huh? It's the less wealthy in particular who benefit the most from choosing paths less traveled, finding places to eat where the food doesn't carry a 2x or 3x tourist markup and the ATMs are not rigged to scam you. Often these paths are literally a quarter hour away from the worst tourist traps.

To be fair, being at the profiting end of those traps is one of the ways in which, as GP put it, "the poor can enjoy things".

The point of tourist traps is that you’re not poor when you enter the trap, but you’re poor afterwards.
