It sucks when a place loses its essence as it becomes more popular.
But on the other hand there is the self-centeredness where everyone wants to be the last person allowed in, lock the door behind me, this place is my little paradise.
I think the only long term solution is to create more desirable places instead of clinging on to the corpse of what once was. Build new places, neighborhoods, and towns centered around people and let them develop their own charm.
Even if you were to block tourism 100%, it doesn't stop you from being displaced by all of your compatriots that make more money than you, because you're fighting for access to a very limited resource. So, expand the supply.
