I'd expect to see this type of fee for non-citizens a lot more. The US is saying a $100 fee for non-citizens to enter national parks will start next year. For the Louvre, I'd be willing to give benefit of the doubt that it's a budgetary decision. For the US though with the current administration, there's always a bit of question if the budgetary reason isn't just a mask for the true intention

Non-residents not non-citizens. See, the administration still cares about the green card holders and H1B workers, who can still visit the national parks at the lower price.

This was pretty common in Central Asia, and I don't object. It keeps things affordable for locals and available for visitors. I don't mind paying for free museums in other countries, since I'm not subsidising them with my taxes.

For parks I expect the best approach is to charge for parking. Charging actual entry is tedious.
