The best trips are often a result of well-planned itineraries tailored to your tastes.
15 travel destinations so overrun with tourists that you may not want to visit, according to travel guide Fodor's
28.11.2024 - 13:09 / insider.com
People around the world are traveling more than ever, with international tourist arrivals in the first half of 2024 just about reaching pre-pandemic levels — and destinations around the world are feeling the pinch.
From tiny, historic, European cities that welcome thousands more people than they were built to hold to picturesque beach locales littered with plastic, concerns about overtourism and poor tourism management are increasingly widespread.
Fodor's, a longstanding travel-guide company, compiles an annual list of destinations where the pressures of tourism are being felt most. The company's 2025 "No List" includes destinations that have long had problems managing tourism levels, as well as newer ones or places where the situation is expected to worsen.
"The No List serves to highlight destinations where tourism is placing unsustainable pressures on the land and local communities. And these stresses need to be addressed," Fodor's said.
The company said it does not advocate for travel boycotts against these locations, but that it believed the problems needed to be called out so that they could be addressed.
Overtourism experts previously told Business Insider that one of the primary challenges locations like this face is that tourists tend to visit the exact same places at the same time. For busy destinations, they instead recommended trying to visit on the off or shoulder seasons. They also stressed the importance of being responsible tourists and respecting all local laws.

African Safari With Kids: Everything You Need to Know
I clearly remember a pivotal moment during my first safari in Kenya with my wife. We traveled across the country, often flying into luxurious, five-star safari camps on small chartered planes. We had already witnessed the Great Wildebeest Migration, spotted the Big Five with ease on game drives, and shared curdled milk from a calabash with Maasai warriors. Now, nearing the end of our trip, a Samburu warrior in a red and blue checkered shuka led us up a hill that looked remarkably like Pride Rock from The Lion King. We were headed to one of our final sundowners.
