Dear Ms.McNeill:

There is a fundamental flaw in your logic.
In order for both sides to live comfortably from the tourism industry, they both must desire exactly that: normal life.
However, when a large fraction of the population on one side cares less about the normal life and well-being of their families, and more about annihilating the other side, your tourism scheme is doomed to fail.
