Tourist trap

A: a place considered to be very popular among tourists, including the local economy being largely dependent on them.

B: a place whose amenities are extremely underwhelming, or even non-existent. In essence, not enough things to do for the average tourist.

C: a place where it's easy to get scammed, or otherwise feels like an unreasonable requirement to spend money to enjoy local activities.

D: a place that's kitsch, childish, and appears outdated.
How come nobody can agree to what a tourist trap actually is?
