In my experience, people on vacation act like they're on vacation. People on vacation paid a premium to be where they are. They have high expectations. I've noticed this living in big American and Canadian cities. I've noticed this while on vacation myself. Vacationers are generally similar no matter where they are or where they're from.

I would love for the author to interact with vacationers directly instead of making up this back story about them in their head. To let them know, no, this place doesn't have cold brew, but buddy, wait until you try a shakerato.
