The question doesn't really make much sense applied to the whole country, does it? It's more important I think to point out which places are important, and also have high tourism ie Also quick googling but honk kong apparently has 16% of its income, and 20% in 2014, from tourism[1].

Whether they like it or not, I doubt it was planned, and I doubt it was truly wanted. More like, accepted.
