The future of travel: The 'Disappearing Destinations' of 2020

I have just read a very interesting article that lists the popular travel destinations that could disappear by 2020 due to the climate change and tourism damage. Some travel destinations could even end up some capping on travelers where tourists will have to ‘win' or ‘earn’ the right to go to this certain destination though a ‘lottery’. One of such a ‘disappearing’ destination that is stated in the article is, for example, Athens ‘cause of high summer temperatures, or Goa that could suffer the beach erosion. It is kinda' scary!

  5. Hi Giulia,
    Thank you for this comment. I also have heard about Venice that the amount of inbound travelers highly exceeds the acceptable number. So they might restrict the traffic to this destination real soon. No need to wait till 2020 :(.
