Informative headline, for those not wanting to figure out the wsj paywall:
>Faced with an influx of visitors, India's picturesque village of Jibhi has shut down the local liquor store and tried to restrict loud music, smoking and barbecues
I think it's in our wheelhouse. its about the unforeseen consequences of technology (instagram making a quiet town popular that would prefer to remain quiet).
In this village, social capital seems to be more appreciated than money. I hope they won't get corrupted by money. Atleast not until I get to visit the place myself.
If you're up in this part of the world you really shouldn't need loud music, tv, making a public scene with barbecues or other disruptive activities. The point of trekking through the Himalaya is exposure to the cultures and amazing environment.

Another commenter has given a good reason why it's on topic.
I love to see more "tourist destination" like that. Tourism is cancer of the any country want to be develop.
