My guess here is “evil” is the ecological impact of travel. High CO2 outputs from aircraft and prolonged automobile travel.
But that’s a problem related to transportation in general. Not due to tourism.
Aside from that we really need to switch out current ways of transportation to better, safer and clean ones.
I live in one of those countries. I can confirm. Also not having a diverse economy can be a a big trouble.
Obviusly an economy purely based on tourism would suck. But that does not make tourism itself bad. Traveling is an enriching experience.

The rebuttal is: take lower carbon impact travel options.
IMO, traveling is inevitable and, maybe, necessary. There are few other ways to experience a culture and understand a people without it.
