People go where other tourists go. Very few tourists actually care to have awkward interactions with locals or feel that they are intruding. People on holidays want to spend a pleasant time and not think a lot (despite what many travel guides say). In a massively tourist city, they feel comfortable and they dont stick out

Wanting to spend a pleasant time doesn't seem to rhyme with people that end up in a two-hour queue in London or Milan.
I do know people who genuinely want to have a nice, relaxing vacation. They book holidays at the beach, in warm countries, at 5* hotels. They don't bother much with overrated and crowded touristy places, really.
