Galápagos Islands, Ecuador

Everyone travels to the Galápagos Islands in order to see hundreds of species that live nowhere else on this planet, making this destination one of the best tourist spots for wildlife viewing in the world.

However, these tourists seem to hurt this place because land tourism is hard to control. You would be seeing many people breaking the rules and touching the famous wildlife of the island, like the iguanas and giant tortoises.

In addition to that, if tourists kept on walking among the penguins of Galápagos and their young babies, then the animals would experience a lot of stress, which could affect them negatively and prevent them from parenting, according to scientists.

The Leaning Tower

Everyone knows the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy because, hello! It is the gorgeous Tower that leans and never falls. But since this place has been attracting many tourists all year round, everyone in the crowds is starting to do things that are not good.

You would notice each one of them hovering in the same radius and trying to do the iconic “photo” next to the Leaning Tower.

There is pretty much nothing else to do there, and that’s why going into the crowds and handling their pressure only to take one photo is not really worth it anymore.

Koh Tachao Island, Thailand

If you want the perfect example of what over tourism is doing to our most favorite vacation spots, you can check the Koh Tachao Island in Thailand. Well, the place has been closed by the local officials due to the thousand times tourists threatened coral reefs and their gorgeous beaches.

However, there are many divers that still have access to many spots across the island, and in case the tour operators got caught unloading on the island, they will permanently lose their license.

If you never had the chance to go to this gorgeous place, then, unfortunately, the chance may never be given again. Hopefully, more tourists would learn how to pay more attention to these unique places.
