From my understanding from friends who have been to KW, the general residents there aren't against tourism, it's a lion's share of many income's they just feel that cruise ships coming in and dumping 2,000-4,000 people (depends if 2 or 3 ships port that day) on the port is getting to be overwhelming, there has been a call for a while now to limit the cruise ships there. A lot of the residents aren't happy about how the public behaves and the trash and destruction they do to public and private areas. That plus the people that take the time to drive down the Key's to visit KW are being shoved aside for the temporary tourists from the ships that don't spend the money that those that come and stay for a day or two. I can totally understand this mentality, and I guess CoVid-19 has given them an excuse to exercise more control that they've long been pressured to enact.
