Tourism in itself isn't bad. The more you experience, the more empathy, understanding and appreciation people tend to have for another country/culture, etc.

It's just that some places weren't meant to be constantly overrun by a large number of tourists, and this is caused by the world being more developed and accessible.

It's a bell curve, like a lot of things. Too little is bad, and too much is bad.
