Saying "I Love Your Country Because It's Cheap'" is rude to locals
I see First-World tourists say this to locals in less developed countries all the time, and it needs to stop. It's incredibly tone-deaf.
Locals are struggling to afford rent and basic groceries due to global inflation and other disadvantages caused by capitalism, while tourists brag about how much they can buy with their stronger currency. If you love a country, praise its food, its history, and its hospitality. Not its poverty.
