I think that's going to be a hard thing to accomplish in the modern era.
Partly, demographics are to blame. You've a bunch of older, wealthier Boomers who are hitting the travel portion of their lives and also a bunch of Millennials who are holding off having kids. Then you combine the fantastically huge increase in foreign tourism from China.
Then you combine everybody looking for the next 'hidden secret insider place' via Google, combined with the mass affordability of low-cost airline travel.
It's a recipe for mass crowds.
New Zealand imposes a tourist tax on everybody except Australians coming into the country when they issue a eVisa.
