I feel a little bit of cargo-cult in the article. The fact that someone spends money to go in some crammed place depends on a number of factors like the touristic quality of that place (which is mostly related to its history), on how's it being promoted outside, on how different it is from other places (with a zillion of details that makes the given place it special compared to other ones), and many other factors. The fact that it is crammed may even not be important at all!
