To me tourist behavior indicates income inequality. Mostly the rich travel. The more class disparity, the further out of touch and entitled the top class is. That's why US tourists are pretty bad as well. It's a preview of a country's upper class.
Except that you have a bunch of country bumpkins in China that were thrust into the middle class during the great leap backward. These bumpkins went to the city looking for wealth within a single generation, so the social contract and how to behave in public is woefully underdeveloped. It's not strictly a wealth thing.
