And I found this point to be particularly pertinent to the Cape Town situation: Tourists will not stop coming if helicopter tours are ended. Most tourists (more than 58 million last year) come to New York to enjoy its magnificent public spaces, visit theaters and museums, shop, dine in restaurants, and perhaps get a view from a tall building.
New York City almost banned Tourism helicopter activities all together. Various articles have been published on this matter and the most pertinent point has been around noise pollution and how bad it is for people.

City leaders should consider the high price we pay for helicopter tourism, a cost to our environment and to the quality of life in our parks and neighborhoods.
