Actually, the reporter is reporting opposite of what you are saying.
Military vehicles were sent to the Hyatt hotel where tourists were escorted by soldiers on to the vehicles and taken to the SuperDome where they currently have a line of people waiting to get moved out of the city. According to the reporter, locals have been waiting in this line up for four days now, but the tourists were moved to the front of the line once they arrived so that they could get out of the city as soon as possible.
So in fact, the tourists are getting priority over the locals --- not being taken advantage of.
