Why "tourism does have some places"
If themselves is redundant, the words "tourism does have some places" is still wrong

sorry. I was confused. The true sentence is " There are some place which rely themselves entirely on tourism. However, tourism does have some disadvantages....."
This is my mistake
But themselves here is still wrong?
