Interesting, I read this as sort of the opposite, not exploitation, but irony. The people who are doing a pilgrimage for their own journey rather than the popularized destination will find other interesting places and stop crowding into one dangerous locale for a while so it cools down. People who just want an Instagram selfy with the bus will get their fill without annoying the locals so much.

Strangely, destroying the desirability by offering helicopter rides in the short term may save it as a destination for the truly intrepid in the future.
