That's really a problem anywhere in the world. Tourists don't mind spending money when they're on the trip of a lifetime and local merchants know that. I don't usually mind paying a little more to buy something where it was made instead of buying an import... but you're right, sometimes it's WAY too much of a profit tacked on.
