Try to choose less traveled destinations. I live in a touristy city and I would be really happy if the number of tourists dropped by 80%.
Wouldn't that kill the place? I still remember getting at the end of tourist season to one of touristy locations in my country. It was straight up dead, shops closed, no pedestrians, locals even unregistered their trucks/busses. It was kinda eerie. Like, whole city just straight up died within maybe two weeks.
Depends on the place. Cities that are also economical centers like London, Paris or Barcelona would probably be okay (locals in those places are usually in favor of less tourism, as it kind of kills their local vibes). Tourist only places might suffer.
