Machu Picchu
Perched high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, this "lost city of the Incas" remained hidden to the outside world until 1911, when historian and explorer Hiram Bingham was led there by local Quechuas. Since then, hundreds of thousands of visitors have flocked to Machu Picchu every year, threatening the fortitude of the ancient ruins. For this reason, UNESCO has recently considered putting Machu Picchu on its List of World Heritage Sites in Danger.

Well, might wanna change the title of the article cuz if it's a travel destination then tourism is obviously happening there.
New Zealand is an entire country being destroyed by tourism especially Queenstown and Lake Wanaka. Do us a favor and please stay home or go elsewhere.Tourists are no long welcome
I do not understand your logic...You need to take an introductory course in real basic economics. NZ relies on tourism. Force your government officials to make tourism responsible and sustainable. All I can think is that you must be independently wealthy (or insensitive to your fellow countrymen and women who make their livings off tourist dollars) to feel you need none of those very same tourist dollars that prop up your country.
So... if not tourism what then? I dont get the tittle
