Some things are just very, very silly. Did it ever occur to these people that this recommendation is a Bad Idea? Not one person said “you know, this article is rather idiotic?”

The piece is behind a paywall, I’m reading it via Pocket
The most enduring holiday memories are rarely found in tourist-trap hotels or crowded city-centre restaurants. They’re found in spectacular landscapes and heart-stopping wildlife encounters, often in remote locations.
Sadly, some of these once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences are under threat, whether from climate change, deforestation, overtourism, or other factors. If you want to confront them in all their majesty, the window in which to do so is closing.
The places mentioned are Glacier National Park, the Dead Sea, Borneo, Michoacán, Mexico, Australia’s Twelve Apostles, Christmas Island, and the Everglades. Sounds like a perfect time to take a long fossil fueled trip and add to the number of tourists, eh?
“Go see these landscapes that tourists are killing, before it’s too late!”
Sometimes the parodies just write themselves.
HAHAHAHA. Where do all those tourists come from? It’s just a total mystery. Maybe more tourists should go there to see for themselves how terrible tourists are.
