Felix Salmon: 我认为在旅游城市，游客对价格不敏感，因为他们已经在机票和酒店上花费了大量资金，所以其他费用占比很小。而本地居民对价格更加敏感，因为他们经常光顾这些场所。这种价格敏感度的差异导致了一种紧张关系，需要找到平衡点。
Elizabeth Spiers: 纽约的旅游业主要集中在时代广场区域，对本地居民的影响相对较小。旅游餐厅的价格通常更高，游客可能愿意支付，但本地居民通常不会去。我认为博物馆和百老汇演出应该为本地居民提供折扣，以平衡游客和本地居民的利益。
Emily Peck: 如果游客想获得地道的体验，应该如何选择餐厅？如果只看网上推荐，游客最终只会去非常昂贵的地方。人们需要重新思考“最佳餐厅”的概念，食物并非唯一的决定因素。有时，不那么拥挤的餐厅反而能提供更好的用餐体验。

Tourists, having already invested significantly in travel expenses, tend to be less price-sensitive compared to locals. This disparity creates a pricing challenge for businesses catering to both groups.
- Tourists are less price-sensitive due to prior travel expenses.
- Locals are more price-conscious.
- A tension exists between catering to both groups.
