Results: Do we all want to be tourists but not want to see tourists?

Surveys and advertising regarding travel always remind me of how downright comical it can be to hear people complain that the tourist destinations which they chose to visit for the tourist attractions were too "touristy". Yet their belief that the more people who travel the less there is to travel for is the epitome of selfishness. I would still like to see a vote on my theory though. Do you think that the real problem is that too many of us want to BE tourists without having to SEE tourists?
