    That is somewhat true but what this also causes is that poorer people have a harder time travelling and visiting other countries while rich people are unnaffected

      The common good and environment of a nation has priority over cheap tourism, so I don’t necessarily see that as a problem. Especially when the number of annual tourists exceeds the population by a factor of five in the case of Iceland, I can understand why some residents would like to reduce it.

      Considering the climate crisis we’re facing I don’t care, anything to reduce air travel. All countries should turn non-local private jets around too.
