Here "as such" has the semantics "because they are foreigh tourists
[they should stay away]".  Is that what you intended?

Here's another example:

    Akihabara is a place that attracts large crowds, and as such may
    be subject to random acts of violence.

In Japanese I'd probably use こそ to capture the connotations of "as
such":

    秋葉原のような人道りの多い場所こそには取り間実験が起こりやすいでしょ
    う。

(I admit that 「こそには」 is a leetle beet 文法的にあやしい kedo....)
