"Summary": "<p>In reference to this article: <a href=\"https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/news/300979611/stay-away-the-pretty-us-town-that-has-had-enough-of-influencers\">https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/news/300979611/stay...</a><span></span></p><p><span></span>Is this a good or bad problem? In general, I'd always take the problem of too much demand over too little demand. I think the issues here is, how do you manage the demand so you don't create the problems that lead to these kinds of outcomes? But more than that, how do locations like this earn revenue from the demand to not just manage the influx, but actually make a profit (GoFundMe is one mechanism they spun up, but it was reactionary to the problems that needed money to solve). <br /></p><p>Demand for experiences like this and across local, state and federal natural attractions is pretty common now. Whenever I do anything outdoors, its about picking the times and places to avoid crowds. You can't tell people not to go to a public place, or not write about it. That won't solve the problem. The problem will be there and will get worse because people are getting outdoors more. <br /></p><p>There's a lot of technology already to help a town like this manage these problems - websites, ecommerce engines, social accounts, GoFundMe/fintech platforms, demand management, demand pricing - all #web2 stuff. In #web3 we have emerging #token technology to potentially make all this work more seamlessly. <br /></p><p>The challenge I think is coordinating everyone so people know they can't just go...they have to do some planning, like when to visit, what to do, and where they could donate to help the town manage the visitation. We all pretty much use Google Maps for anything directionally related - what if that becomes the one place where these instructions are centralized? <span></span><br /></p>",
