12 Tourist Places to Avoid- ashton benn

Many popular places are experiencing resentment from the locals against tourism. Including the Isle of Sky, Scotland, Barcelona, Spain, Dubrovnik, Croatia. Venice, Italy, Santorini, Greece, Bhutan, Taj Mahal, India, Mount Everest, Nepal-side, Machu Picchu, Peru, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, Cinque Terre, Italy, and Antartica. All of these places have one thing in common, they are becoming overcrowded with tourists who disturb residents and commit illegal acts that can ruin the beautiful cities. For example, in Scotland, there have been reports of visitors pissing on historical monuments. One of the most surprising places on the list is Antartica. Lately there has been a tourist boom in the south pole which has upset the natural landscape and raised concerns about potential exploitation. A solution that has risen is bans on tourism, but despite this, some islands are still at risk.

Personally I love to travel and have been to a few places on the list, but I completely understand people's aversion to tourism. Imagine living in a place that is constantly crowded with rude people who have no personal space. You could say it's a bit like NewYork but even New York City doesn't get the billions of people that islands like Santorini receive. Ultimately tourism of this proportion could cause governments to completely shut down ports to cruise lines and such, however a lot of locals don't realize that much of their country's income relies on the money that their landmarks bring in.
