There are a few potential ways to curb awful, damaging traveler behavior. For example, some governments are embracing harsher laws, introducing larger fines, and creating official guidelines for what kind of behavior is acceptable or not. That being said, this entire problem is a two-way street.

On the other side of the coin, problematic tourists have to realize that they are the issue, and they need to change their antisocial behavior. There needs to be a shift in their mindset where they recognize that traveling is a privilege, where they are essentially guests in someone else’s home.
Naturally, this requires a bit of humility, introspection, and self-awareness, all of which can be emotionally uncomfortable. But there’s no room for personal growth without them.
