I don't think the great wall has fallen into disrepair because people are walking on it. It fell into disrepair because nobody repaired it. Nothing lasts forever without maintenance.

This is a great idea for a story, however I argue that there's a reason each one of these destinations is so popular. Instead of emphasizing the destructive popularity, we should find a way to restore the current status while continuing popularity.

Great Wall of China

Many sections of China's Great Wall have fallen into disrepair because of the scores of tourists who walk along its walls annually. Many parts of the wall have been marred by vandalism and graffiti. In certain regions, the Great Wall has been destroyed to make way for development.
