Hand every tourist a brochure about the Do's and Dont's. Aka, like Singapore prints warnings (DEATH TO DRUG TRAFFICKERS) on their landing cards.
If laws and rules are disrespected fine the sweet bejeezus out of those assholes (like in the thousands of $ range) and ban them from the country (or ideally, from the Schengen room) for 5 to 10 years.
The problem will solve itself in short time.
You see the same thing in Yellowstone--inattentive Instagrammers with selfie sticks hoping to snap the perfect pic next to the wildlife and scenery. Nothing quite as real as being scalded by a hot spring when you're used to viewing the world through a screen.
Same everywhere. I still remember going to the NY ball drop new year's eve - all I could see was camera flashes, hundreds of them every second. It was disgusting. I was one of the very few people who wanted to see stuff with naked eye :( Do these super talented artistic photographers see the photos they take, even once, after they have taken it?
At first they were just shitting up the Web - now it's the real world too :( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September
oh that old elitist complaint is still hanging around?
Also when you rent a car there, they inform you that going off road is prohibited. I guess some people choose not to listen.

Okay, so restrict their entrance and live without their tourism money. :')

When I was young, my grandparents had a little un-winterized summer cottage in upstate NY in an area that was still pretty active with NYC metro area tourists... basically boorish and annoying people swarming everywhere. ("Hey, look at the cow! Moo! Why don't you mooo!") That isn't a thing now anymore, and of course the folks like from every city globally venture off to Mexico, the DR, and various nature-y places now.
Yuck.

Using "elitist" as an insult is getting old. You have to accept that behaviour shown by uneducated people is often inadequate. (Of course, "uneducated" about what... that depends on the context. We're discussing netiquette here but it could be anything else.)
