How might absentee ownership of tourist facilities undermine democracy in a tourist country?

Absentee ownership of tourist facilities can lead to a lack of local control and influence over key decisions that affect the community, such as pricing, employment practices, and environmental policies. This can result in a loss of economic benefits for the local population and weaken their ability to shape the development of their own community. Furthermore, absentee owners may prioritize profit over the well-being of the local community, leading to increased economic inequality and social tensions.
