– Question 1. Why increase tourism income?
– Answer. Because tourism is highly unprofitable in vanilla. There are a lot of complaints on the web about this subject.
– Question 2. Why not increase the number of tourists istead of the tourism income?
– Answer. The main reason is that it is much more complicated task and beyond of my capabilities. ?
– Question 3. Money is not an issue when my city grows big enough. What sense in increasing the income even more?
– Answer. Yes, in vanilla the unique buildings, which are the main source of tourism, are a kind of bueatification rather than a source of income. Try to use a mod that makes the economy harder (for example, Difficulty Tuning mod). Together with the increased income from tourism, it can give you a new level of experience.
