This is actually done with certain destinations in the US. For example, after "The Wave" in Southern Utah became tremendously famous (driven, IIRC, by a very nice desktop photo distributed with Windows), access became permit-only determined by BLM lottery. I've been trying the lottery w/o success most months of the last year. It's frustrating not to win, but it's a fair way of meeting the demands of both access and preservation.
