So Talkeetna is being over run by tourists brought in by multi-national corporations ($$$$$ for share holders).   I just got back from Barcelona where there is a tourist problem too (more than 27 million tourists visit Barcelona every year).  Barcelona is cracking down on tourism because it degrades the quality of life for the citizens of the city.  Maybe the people who are trying to LIVE in Talkeetna, other Alaska cities plauged by tourists, and perhaps ADN reporters might benefit from investigating the way other cities around the world are dealing with globalized corporate tourism.
