Establishment designed to attract tourists and their money
A tourist trap is an establishment (or group of establishments) created or re-purposed to attract tourists and their money. Tourist traps typically provide overpriced services, entertainment, food, souvenirs, and other products for tourists to purchase. Tourist trap derives from the information asymmetry between tourists and the market. The term originates from Graham Greene's 1939 book The Lawless Roads describing the author's journey to Mexico. It originally referred to cheap souvenirs targeted towards tourists, but over time came to describe crowded places that tourists visit, but locals avoid.
