Your suggestion sounds like a recipe for destroying the remaining unspoilt places. On the contrary, I would say: please go to the established tourist traps, or better yet, stay home. The whole concept of tourism is ludicrous.
- folli 8y agoTourism is part of traveling. Surely, you don't think traveling is ludicrous.
- usepgp 8y agoit was clearly a sarcastic post.

Modern "mass tourism", in particular, consists of taking a big boat or a big bus with a bunch of people who are just like you, to places that local people never go. Then you take a picture, post it somewhere to show off to your friends, then you buy some trinkets and go to the next place. Setting aside the question of whether or not international travel is sustainable for (say) all of China, this form of travel is ludicrous. You might as well stay home, look at pictures on Instagram, go to a buffet and and visit the mall.
