  • Tourists are good for the country and for tourist based commerce, but overtourism hurt the local residents. Overcrowding, traffic jams, “normal” shops fade out for tourist shops, food prices goes up, housing is unaffordable for the local population all because tourists pay more. Increase on tourism related job which usually pay less for their workers. These workers can’t live in that area because it is too expensive and used by tourists.












  • It all depends on the implementation and need.

    In-memory structures are usually faster to work with, but harder to coordinate multiple updates from multiple sources (different applications, services, etc).

    Databases have all sort of failsafe mechanisms to ensure data integrity and recovery options, in most times there is no need to reinvent it all over again.

    Persistent - do you need to access the data again once your program was finished? How often does the data change by other programs/tasks once you read it? How big is your data and how complex are the connections between your data objects?

    Many times the implementation is a mixed approach. It is better to know and calculate the needs before you start your project, but as it usually happen, once you get performance issues, you start optimizing adding in-memory cache or scale to a bigger database.
