Despite wonderful advices of nargacugarex, which are mostly coincide with my experience, and for which we should thank him, the whole tourism situation is just a bug/disbalance.
The airport alone won't help much, I've had one :-). And couple of bus depots. And streetcars. And a freaking train staiton. The fact is, at some point, tourists just stop coming by themselves.
So, until I order some shows in Expocenter AND Pro Stadium, which means bringing in around 15000 people for the evening, I'm in red. If I forget to do this one day, or ocassionally do not have enough money for that, I'm bankrupt in one day.
So yeah, in the end you can still be in green by reserving & spending like 60K every day. And you should be pretty lucky (or pretty good planner, as nargacugarex said) just to reach that situation. That, or to build ANOTHER city by yourself to get your first city moving (if that will ever work, of which I'm not sure considering other people's complaints on the forum. Oh gosh)
whats the most frustrating is the poor math attached to the tourist attractions that don't offer shows...
Eiffel Tower and the Empire State = stated both were getting $20k profit every HR
now go to your balance sheet - City Specialty row the expenses DOMINATE the income...
There has to be some sort of calculation glitch going on, because if this is the case, there is no reason to build a tourist attraction that doesn't offer a show or sporting event - I notice you do in fact receive the funds stated when clicking on the attraction
anyone else notice this?
