Anyone has any idea how to fix the tourist issues?
1) I have neighbouring cities with 200k++ pops (mix of all wealth)
2) I have no traffic issues (All roads are green)
3) I have 3 Bus terminal regional (Max out)
4) I have 2 trains (10 mins interval waiting time)
5) I have 2 boats terminal
6) I have 3 street cars station (17 mins interval maxed out)
7) I have 4 casinos + 3 monuments (big ben / pissa / liberty)
8) 100k++ population (no health / crime / fire / water / electric....you get the point...)
But my population details shows 0 visitors + population started decreasing for no apparent reason (everyone was happy, tax was at 5%), Suddenly my casinos are losing money (-12k per day), it went on for weeks (with -12k per hr)
PS: tried all work around/solutions (e,g. destroy and rebuild / off and on casino HQ/ rebuild terminals / ....you get the point again...) but to no avail.
I have had this same problem a couple times now. First city, I didn't really know what I was doing, so who knows... Misplaced all kinds of things, etc.
I read up a lot on this "tourism bug", so converted a fledgling city of mine into a tourist city using what I had learned. All was going well for a period of time. Swimmingly actually! I'm not sure when things went south exactly... It could have been once I decided to add a casino (it was a successful culture city, so I figured why not bilk the tourists for even more simoleons), or even when I put schools in (was using neighbour's schools for a long time). Come to think of it, I also got some hotels which seemed to coincide with the downfall of my tourism industry (as stated in previous posts)...
I have just now bulldozed all my hotels, and will advise on the outcome once I am able to observe anything of note.
(I also realize that maybe I use too many parentheses 😕mileyhappy🙂
P.S. EA's spell checker doesn't recognize the word "Simoleons". Isn't this sort of an indication of how utterly ignorant towards attention to detail they can sometimes be?
Ok, so one immediate observation I have is that after logging back into my city which was losing several thousand an hour, it is now at +4500. The only thing I did was delete hotels and then got booted while on pause due to inactivity.
Furthermore, I now I have 3500 tourists, whereas I previously had 2800.
Evidence is possibly mounting that in fact hotels due fcuk your cities.
There's definitely something fishy about the way that casino profits are added to your cities ledger. For example, I had a casino that had $1800 under "Income/Expenses" (profit), and my city budget was -6000 or so. So naturally, I powered down an apparently profitable casino, and then suddenly my income shot up to a whopping +600 or so.
I'm not sure what to make of this, but it seems like this casino was subtracting $6200 from my budget, while adding absolutely fcucking NOTHING.
