Salam,

Tourism isnt haram in and of itself. The haram aspect is when tourism turns into a method of extreme bootlickers where the nation does anything to get some penny. Thereby everything that entertains the lower desires of the tourist becomes legalised. But that shouldn't cover up the good aspect of toursim which is to see the signs of Allah which is spread out all over the land. It should be a means of dawa where the Islamic culture should be introduced to them. There are thousand and thousands of non-muslims who appreciate Islam through direct experience among muslim countries. So I dont see the promotion of toursim is somehow enough to demonise MB. It is only when they turn Muslims to harlots and bootlickers for pleasing the tourists lower desires that we should show our opposition. It is when tourism is structured to turn Muslim countries into a Las Vegas or Miami beach that we should show opposition and concern. But again wisdom should be used in doing things "diplomatically" rather than shouting in the middle of the streets and hurling slurs at westerners.
