San Francisco is not the region. It's San Francisco.
When I said "region" I was referring to the entire Bay Area since SF makes up a small portion, both area and population wise, of the Bay Area REGION. The Bay Area's economy is not dependent on tourism overall.

San Francisco itself depends on tourism. It takes tax money from business that feed this industry. Taxes from Hewlett Packard and Oracle don't help SF survive at all because they're in different counties. San Francisco would be working on a much smaller scale if it had to rely more on grocery stores and flower shops for a tax base.

I'm not sure a poll list was necessary for topic, because there are a lot of places not on that list to pick from.
Example 1: Chattanooga, Tennessee. The nearly dead smaller city of a couple of decades ago has developed a hugely popular downtown area around the riverfront Aquarium and IMAX theater they built. Since those opened there is now a thriving tourist area around the riverfront (boat tours, etc), an arts district with museums, restaurants and clubs, etc., on top of old attractions like caves and Lookout Mountain. It's a very busy city now. Being only 2 hours North of Atlanta, and 2 hours South of Nashville, they get a lot of "day trippers" on the weekends especially. If the tourists were to completely leave - no much would be going on around there and the place would dry up.
Example 2: Charleston, South Carolina. Just about completely dependent on tourists. Super neat place to go and the Old South historic district on a bay draws millions per year to the area. Some refer to it as a "mini San Francisco", though I'm not sure I'd compare the two. Thriving shopping district only blocks from there as well. No tourists would kill that place quick.
Example 3: Dahlonega, Georgia. Ok, this isn't really a "city" - it's more of a small town in North Georgia. But still, it's economy completely relies on tourists from Atlanta and the Chattanooga area (or those just passing through) in order to survive. Small town square filled with local artist galleries, pottery, jewelry makers, and a gold museum since this town was the site of a gold rush in the late 1800s.
Example 4: Roswell, New Mexico. Not sure exactly how you'd define "thriving", but would that town even still exist if it weren't for the UFO stuff they have going on there? One of those "News of the weird" towns, but still, only there today because of the tourists.
There are tons of others out there, but just goes to show that there are LOTS of places that rely completely or nearly completely on tourism to survive.
Las Vegas- who goes there to work, unless your a hooker
Orlando- It's all about family vacations
New York- Time Square
LA- it's LA
SF-
Chicago- summer festivities
DC- nation's capital
