Exactly. Japan has been raising prices to help to curb the crowded tourism. Such a simple supply/demand solution

  Keep it up, and you ensure only foreigners and rich people will be able to visit important or desirable things in your own country. I live in Lisbon, and see this happening all the time.

    It's tourists tax for the foreigners, it's not for the locals. Maybe Lisbon should consider charge the foreigners to help fund the locals too?

    It's pretty common for museums here (in Lisbon/Portugal) to offer discounted entry to residents. I was just a the MAAT (for example) and I asked for and got the resident discount. And there's the scheme which allows residents 52 museum entries per year for free: https://www.museusemonumentos.pt/pt/noticia-com/novo-regime-de-gratuitidade-em-museus-e-monumentos https://www.museusemonumentos.pt/pt/noticia-com/novo-regime-...

    There are two things you can do about the law of supply and demand. Believe in it and act accordingly, or don't believe in it and be victim to it.

    Any reasonable place doing this offers discounts in various formats for locals. San Francisco has some museums like this with discounts for locals.
