Slightly Off topic ( Not relating to nature and bad behaviour ). We have far too many tourist problem everywhere, and some locals aren't too happy with it. Its not that they don't like tourist, there are just far too many.

I have been wondering, if there are any bills, tax or something in similar effort to bring the cost up, like any market would do with high demand. In ways that government can collect and ( in theory ) redistribute back to local via benefits or subsidies?

Taxing on hotel, flight?

Tourism represented 42.0% of the export of goods and services in Iceland [1]. I suspect that if the number of tourists fell significantly, they would be greatly missed by the locals.

A lot of places have permissions you need to buy. If these are more expensive you get less people but I am not sure where the sweet spot is between less people and still making money.

If carbon emissions get taxed higher between now and 2050, expect the cost of airplane tickets to go up substantially.
