I have a question for you, Washington: What is it that makes a business or an entire town a tourist trap? You tell me. I don’t know. A tourist trap is an establishment or group of establishments that has been created or repurposed with the aim of attracting tourists and their money. Tourist traps will typically provide services, entertainment, food, souvenirs, and other products for tourists to purchase. The term “tourist trap” often carries a negative connotation, implying that the establishment is overpriced or of low quality. However, it is important to note that not all tourist traps are bad. Many popular tourist destinations have become tourist traps because they offer unique experiences that are worth the visit.
