In the first place it depends whether tourism is really wished for by the government. Countries with governments that uphold strong (local) moral codes do not want tourism, because it is believed to change the country's (superior) character. Some current examples are Japan, North Korea and Iran. Other governments want to change the type of tourists visiting their country as a way to optimalize revenues or because the current tourists morally damage the country's identity and/or country's image to the outside world. A current example here is Spain on the Costa Brava. The government no longer wants European youth, but rather European families visiting their country. And sometimes the ideology unintentionally decreases the country's tourism, because the government gives war-like speeches against other countries, rebel groups, powerful criminal groups or minorities within the country. Tourists translate this simply as more risks for violence and crime. Current examples here are Mali, Mexico and Colombia. Hope you can use this answer. Regards from The Netherlands.
