We are discovering that the environmental and financial burden of catering to 8 million+ tourist a year is increasingly becoming untenable.
They spend less and less, they generate huge amounts of traffic that destroy our roads and they don't take all their trash and waste with them when they leave. We don't have the tax base to support all the infrastructure spending tourist require. I think a lot of people are at the point where they are no longer willing to sacrifice their communities for tourist dollars to be collected by a select few.
I expect the trend of wanting to restrict tourist access to areas to continue.
