While I hate tourism and owning class as much as the other guy, you have to account for economical realities. A lot of small places would be dying ghost towns without tourism. Only realistic (but not necessarily easy) way to reduce tourism without destroying the economy is to found alternate competing economical activity so that the city is less dependent on tourism and then find a way to limit tourism by some means.

Many tourist destinations are popular due to their architecture and monuments. Ghost towns don’t make big monuments and cathedrals.
Many tourist destinations are also popular due to their location like canary islands or lapland.
