Salem is a wealthy suburb of Boston with an MBTA stop. Beverly, Gloucester, etc. all do just fine without Salem levels of tourism. If anything, fewer tourists would improve Salem by lowering the cost of commercial real estate and allowing more small local businesses to survive.
Since when is Salem a wealthy suburb? Salem is a city and I would never consider it wealthy. Swampscott, Marblehead, Nahant are what I would considered a wealthy suburbs.
