an interesting topic and some interesting questions. In the US, the major state parks are also suffering from too many visitors, who often wait for several hours at the gates because the park is 'full'. One way the National Parks Service is trying to alleviate this is by promoting other parks, which are often nearby, as alternatives. However, some people just want a particular photo opportunity, e.g. Old Faithful at Yellowstone, and continue to clog the system. People need to think outside the box!
