Tourists? Yes or No?

[Clock]

Honestly, I like having tourists since it makes my island feel a bit more alive and I like seeing the animals I don't have.

But my big concern is that if I reach 8 hotels finished (I only have 4 guests today, but I finished 6 rooms, with 2 recently done today), I feel like the game might lag more due to more tourists on my island? The game did feel a bit laggier since I updated to 3.0.

Also another issue I have is that I see less of my villagers. But I still think its an interesting feature.

I always thought it would be a cool feature to have this in New Leaf. I remember either here or somewhere else talking about it the possibility of a pwp hotel where villagers could walk around your town and go in shops and stuff. So it's really cool to see this feature now after so many years later.

I think it would be even better if they had the chance to move in if you had an empty plot or could suggest them moving in. It would just be one more option for villager hopping for those that want it without having to rely on the campsite, nook miles, and those without amiibos.

I haven't noticed any lag yet, but I did transfer my original island to my Switch 2. I'm sure its really laggy and awful on the Switch since my game loaded so slow and some spots struggled with pop ins or my villager walking like they were stuck in goop and I never had a really crowded island.

I like it but I haven’t had any villagers I hate yet it’s nice to see more of a variety of villagers though. I do think they should let us switch it off, e.g. asking Isabelle or leilani to confine the visitors to the hotel and not have them wander the island

No. I put time and effort into my all bunny island I don’t want random tourists walking around. I love the new items I think they are awesome I like decorating more rooms but i wish there was a way to “toggle “ off the tourists from walking around my island I never see my own villagers anymore I hate it

It's such a cool addition to the game. I enjoy watching the random villagers wandering around HHP, and before this update I had wished there could be more visitors on my own island too. At this point I consider most of my villagers as permanent residents, and while I love them, it's really fun to see some more variety.

I love having tourists as my town is built to be a tourist destination. Having said that I wish that they had given you an option on whether or not you want a hotel. I also wish there had been a quest to build the hotel like the other buildings.

With my Island being a Citycore, it makes sense seeing so many tourists around, as it gives off the illusion of the city being a bustling utopia.

I like the feature! My villagers haven't changed in ages, so it's honestly nice getting to see all these different villagers that exist in the game, along with seeing some of the villagers I let go from my island ages ago. I can understand why some people might not like it, though, given how the game has existed for almost 6 years without tourists being a thing.
