Tahoe has always been a tourist destination for the ski areas and the lake. Without all the tourists coming up here none of the industries that exist would survive. The only aspect of this area that was not based on tourism are the industries that have all long since left the area: logging, railway stop and ice harvesting. While Tahoe has clearly gotten "worse", it is because it is more popular, but it has always been and always will be a tourist destination. Everyone's business up here can be tied to the success of the tourist industry.
