El turista espera que los autóctonos le traten bien durante su estancia.
Doesn’t “le” mean “to/for” him?
Thank you,
Shirley.

Why le, not lo? (traten)
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using esperar que + present subjunctive in Spanish to express hope"

Hola Shirley
The verb tratar (a alguien bien/mal) is a transitive verb, however the use of "le" as a direct object pronoun is also accepted if it refers to him (masculine singular). I changed it to "lo" though in the test-question.
