Traveling abroad for vacation is more popular than ever. International
tourism is growing and it shows no signs of slowing down. Tourism is up
pretty much across the globe. While this is fantastic for the tourism industry,
it also means the sights you want to see are going to be more crowded than
ever.
We’ve already brought you some tips to avoid
crowds while traveling, but it is inevitable that popular tourist
destinations such as the UK, France, and the Caribbean will be crowded. Luckily
the world is massive, and there’s plenty of locations that haven’t become
absolutely flooded with visitors yet.
Cambodia
While Angkor Wat is a famous tourist attraction, it still
pulls less tourists than many other famous ruins. There is far more to explore
in this country that plenty of tourists don’t see. The beaches are no less
beautiful than Thailand’s, but lack the crowds. The capital city is an amazing
city with fewer people than Thailand and Vietnam. Cambodia is rich in history
with friendly people and amazing food. Don’t just stop while on a trip to Thailand;
take some time to see this amazing country.
Bangladesh
This densely populated country has some great sights without
a lot of tourists. The locals are friendly and excited to see foreigners
visiting their home. Though sightings are rare, you may even spot a tiger in
the wild. Visit temples, hike far off the beaten path, and explore the many
rivers many of the locals make their livelihood from. Before you go make sure
to check on the security status though, as political demonstrations do occur.
Belize
Belize can be easy to forget about since it is surrounded by
more popular Central American countries, but it shouldn’t be. With beautiful
beaches, Maya cities, and an amazing barrier reef, this location should
definitely be on your bucket list. The weather is warm all year and getting
around is extremely easy. This is the place to go for more adventurous travel
with less of the tourists.
Myanmar
This SE Asia country only recently became open to tourists,
meaning it has yet to be spoiled by Western influence. Over 2,000 temples still
remain that you can explore. If you love adventurous travel there’s plenty of
jungle for you here. This affordable nation is slowly entering more people’s
radars, so go see it before everyone else does!
Zambia
This African country has amazing things to offer any
visitor, sans the crowds you’ll find in places like South Africa. You can still
go on safaris to see the animals in their natural habitat. Here you can also
view the largest waterfall in the world. The national parks are remote and
boast amazing wildlife. Here you can be more adventurous in your travel or head
to one of the high-end resorts!
Iceland
Iceland has so much to offer despite its relatively small
size. It also offers some amazing incentives that you won’t find many other
places on Earth. Time it right and you can experience 24 hours of daylight
here. It’s also one of the best places to view the northern lights. If you’re
feeling chilled take a dip in one of the many geothermal baths. Explore the
country’s many volcanoes and icebergs. If you love outdoor adventure this place
is for you.
Cyprus
If you don’t like the cold, Cyprus may be more your speed.
This small Mediterranean nation certainly sees its fair share of visitors, but
not so many that you should be put off. The tasty food, easy access, and
beautiful beaches will make you fall in love with this country. If you’re
looking for somewhere you can just sit back and relax, you can’t go wrong here.
Luxembourg
This tiny European country is about the size of Rhode Island
and is situated around Germany, France, and Belgium. It’s easy to get to and
often known by the typical tourist. You’ll find modern buildings and medieval
ruins, all in this tiny country. Just like elsewhere in Europe there’s tons of
museums and galleries. Plus if you’re already in Europe this destination is
easy to get to and makes for a perfect weekend trip.
Bhutan
Travel to this country must be planned in advanced, and you’ll
be hit with a $250 fee per day to explore this untouched country. This is to
control tourism and protect the environment. If you need to plan your own trip
you may want to skip this one, as you will be assigned a specific tour. But if
you do choose to travel here, you’ll be met with an authentic, unique
experience that many can only dream of.
Antarctica
If you truly want to experience a place that has escaped
human influence, Antarctica is the place to go. Here you will experience
massive icebergs, flocks of penguins, and superb whale watching. You have a
limited timeframe to visit every year and are very limited when it comes to
getting there. You travel by boat through the rough seas of the Drake Passage,
and as you can imagine it isn’t cheap. Despite all this, it is not a location
to be missed.
Thailand
Alright, so when it comes to SE Asia everyone knows about
Thailand. If you dream to see it though, you need to go soon. Tourism to this
country continues to rise, so don’t put off the trip if you want to go. And
there’s plenty of amazing things to see and experience in Thailand; the
temples, the wildlife, the food, and plenty more. Go now before the country is
even more overrun than it is now!
