We restrict building anything in like 99% of it man. You can’t just prop up a development in a national park and that’s the problem and then the one town itself has restrictions. So the only actual town you can build in outside the boundaries (Canmore) is NIMBY central. You’d need the feds on board to allow development. Dude if you allowed builders to come in and develop a new town in park boundaries it would happen in 3 seconds because they’d be able to sell their developments instantly.

You can’t restrict supply to an enormous degree and then pretend there’s an argument that there’s no money out there for development or that investors aren’t interested.
