Yep, this is a classic issue that could be solved if you have a government that cares about protecting you. You can control how many tourists you let in your nation.
Napal, Tibet, Tajikistan all limit tourists severely. Meanwhile I buy breakfast in Hanoi from between <1USD and 15 depending if I go to a place that serves locals or tourists. In places where there’s competition, I can pay like 2-10USD a night for a bunk to an entire apartment. In places where the local capitalists use the local government to increase their profits at the expense of the workers, I generally avoid because fuck that.
