Moving has given them a chance to kick the tourists out. I'm sure there are winners and losers there, but you'd imagine most tourists are going to be there to gawp, take photos, and maybe buy a small amount of something cheap and accessible, like something deep fried on a stick from someone round the corner. Tourists will be a pain if you are selling high end fish by the box to chefs.
