I believe it was pressure from UNESCO to do some other activities to preserve the site. I guess some visitors would wander off into restricted areas. Personally, I can't believe that it was that bad of a problem. Also, people keep getting naked while visiting.
I agree with you. I can't imagine visiting a place like MP and having a guide, or a group of tourists I've been clustered with, talking in my ear.
