I don't really care about the fee, but the damage is done isn't it? How many natives still live there who aren't directly involved in the tourism industry?

    To be fair, since the city isn't really fit for modern ship trading, it would be abandoned if not for tourism. Or be an exclusive hideout for rich people? You can't really preserve a city in a bubble.
