If people didn't want to visit iconic places they wouldn't be iconic. If you ever went to China, in most cities, not just the most popular ones, if you go to city center where people are used to spend free time, you will find yourself in a crowd bigger than Venice when a couple of cruise ships are docked for a day. Industry or gov shouldn't regulate to only serve those who are able to pay premium. There's nothing wrong with visiting that same Venice while living in a nearby city. Just build the infrastructure to accommodate more people and warn everyone that you should brace yourself to walk in the crowd or postpone your visit until off-season (or in case of Venice, just walk it in the early morning).
