Did you just generalize 1 billion people?

  In general most tourists go to tourist destinations. And in general, most tourist destinations are not the same as "experiencing local culture." It's like saying staying at an all inclusive resort in Jamaica is experiencing Jamaican culture. It's exactly why these spots are extremely crowded while other areas are not. Note that I didn't say all tourists do this, which seems to be what you're implying I'm saying.

    Jamaica is a bad example since most of the country is poor and not suitable for tourism. But I do agree that in particularly famous cities, there are entire pockets of it devoted to traditional Western culture for those who are not up to experiencing new cultures.
