On the plus side, you have the added shot in the arm to the local economy. Goods, services and accomodations that might be hard to market otherwise now have a new target… and they’re willing to pay top-dollar for it.
On the down side, you have increased demand on utilities and other infrastructure that the area must be prepared for and maintain. Traffic can become congested and become a real drain on the locals temperment.
You just have to find a happy medium point between the pros and cons that is liveable for all involved. If not, the tourism trade will simply go somewhere else where there are fewer hassles to put up with.
