This would only work for the biggest tourist destinations. I much prefer the race to the bottom with things like tax free shopping for tourists.

- jncfhnb 2y agoWhat you prefer as a tourist is not much a concern “Biggest” is not particularly relevant either. The question is simply whether it’s overcrowded by tourists or not.
- pc86 2y agoThe answer to it being overcrowded is for prices to increase, which happens naturally over time. Things get less crowded and more profitable, more places can open up which pushes prices back down, which increases tourism, etc. etc. Eventually you find an equilibrium.
- jgeada 2y agoGreat for the rich tourists for which the destination is a choice, not so great for the people that actually live there. It is exactly this dynamic that causes so many locals to be anti-tourists.
- jncfhnb 2y agoRaising prices in a competitive market with many players is a prisoners dilemma and is not easy to do. The market has little pressure to solve for overcrowding.
