Brits are being cautioned against visiting 15 specific locations in the coming year. Despite the allure of numerous airline and package holiday deals currently available online, travellers are being advised to steer clear of these 'no-go' zones, which include some well-known tourist destinations.
This warning comes from English travel guide producer Fodor, who has released its list of places to avoid in 2025, with some surprisingly close to home. The guide was assembled based on "highly coveted tourist spots [that] are collapsing under the burden of their own prominence", with overtourism cited as a key issue.
Fodor's editors commented: "These places are popular for good reason - they're beautiful, fascinating, and culturally significant. But some of these sought-after tourist spots are buckling under the weight of their own fame.". Among the listed destinations are Italy, Spain and Japan, but one Scottish location also made the cut. The team elaborated: "But we do believe that acknowledging the problem is the first step towards solving it. The No List serves to highlight those destinations where tourism is putting unsustainable pressure on the environment and local communities.".
Scotland's North Coast 500, a stunning 516-mile route, has landed the 12th spot on the list. The area not only showcases Scotland's rich history but also offers breathtaking coastal views through Wester Ross, Sutherland, Caithness, Easter Ross, the Black Isle and Inverness-shire, reports the Express.
