Yes, limiting visitor access to natural attractions is often necessary to maintain ecological balance. Overtourism causes soil erosion, wildlife disturbance, habitat degradation, and biodiversity loss, as seen in sites like Maya Bay (Thailand) and Machu Picchu (Peru). Successful examples include Bhutan’s “high-value, low-volume” policy, which funds conservation while preserving nature, and timed-entry systems in parks like Yosemite, reducing congestion and impacts. Controlled access protects fragile ecosystems for future generations without banning tourism entirely.https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/should-some-of-the-worlds-endangered-places-be-off-limits-to-tourists https://greenly.earth/en-us/blog/ecology-news/tourism--the-environment-a-delicate-balance https://ecotourism-world.com/the-impact-of-tourism-nature-destruction/
