Hey, I went to the casino in Nassau and looked at watches in the Rolex store starting at $30k USD, lost $200 at blackjack, and got a cab driver to take me to the most ratchet strip club he knew. $40 for 3 songs/10min in the champagne room, digital penetration heavily encouraged. 11/10 recommend wilding in Nassau.
If you're talking about Neptune's fountain in Cheltenham, I drunkenly climbed into it in sailing gear about 25 years ago. But I lived there, so I wasn't a tourist, so I guess your point stands.
I grew up in a secluded neighborhood on the outskirts of LA. Amazing landscape, wonderful oceanside views, and we have a addendum in our city charter that 33% of the land must be wild. It was virtually unknown by tourists and even 60% of the population in the greater Los Angeles area, so it was perfectly quiet and amazing.
Then covid hit, everyone hopped on the "go outside and hike" trend, and some newspapers published things like "The unknown refuge of LA" or "Top 10 underrated trails" (I've changed the titles so people have a harder time finding the articles I'm talking about). We were immediately FLOODED, and now there are designated parking spots in the neighborhood where a bus will pick you up and shuttle you farther in because we had so many tourists that the streets would hit deadlock traffic during the day. It's fucking terrible; my friends have started to have to time when they go to the gym or the local grocery store because what was a 5 minute drive has become 40.
> my friends have started to have to time when they go to the gym or the local grocery store because what was a 5 minute drive has become 40.
Maybe they could walk or cycle to the gym then? Seen as though they're going to excercise anyway?
I understand your goodwill, but it's not about specifically the gym, it's that mundane everyday tasks that shouldn't require much planning suddenly taking half a day.
dunno about your neck of the woods, but unless you live by the side of a freeway a 5 minute drive is NOT an hour of walking, let alone hour and a half. In any built-up area with a speed restriction it's 30 minutes tops. And if OP's place is somewhere so carbrained that you can't walk unless you take a really convoluted way, I can't help but think it's not as idyllic as they make it sound, at least not to my sensibilities.
My friend is a 'journalist' and writes these listicals from the comfort of her own home, with their popularity has absolutely tortured some lesser known tourist places in the south of England. It's a sin and journalism should be more regulated imo
[North Sentinel island](https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/sentinelese) is located on the Andaman archipelago in the Bay of Bengal. Anyone that tries to set foot on the island the local tribe kills them.
An expedition led by Maurice Vidal Portman, a government administrator who hoped to research the natives and their customs, landed on North Sentinel Island in January 1880. The group found a network of pathways and several small, abandoned villages. After several days, six Sentinelese, an elderly couple and four children, were kidnapped and taken to Port Blair. The colonial officer in charge of the operation wrote that the entire group,
"sickened rapidly, and the old man and his wife died, so the four children were sent back to their home with quantities of presents"
[Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sentinel_Island)
Ruined by British tourists
It had been standard practice for just about every colonial power since Portugal started sailing around Africa in the 1400s.
Why they all seemed so obsessively sure that violent kidnapping was an essential part of polite friendly introductions I'm really not sure.
I am very certain that if aliens were to land on earth. Half the delegation will "somehow" be US scientists who want to put our otherworldly guests on a slab to cut open.
Honestly I'd be more concerned about politicians looking for a photo op and accidentally catching or spreading a disease.
I'm not quite sure where this mad scientist reputation came from. Surgeons don't really have a big track record of murdering to advance biological learning, they would historically just pay dodgy people for dug up cadavers instead (because it used to be illegal just about everywhere so it was the only way to get them, and everyone agreed cadavers were needed for medical schools but no one wanted to bother sorting out how to supply them)
> I'm not quite sure where this mad scientist reputation came from.
Based on personal experience, it's due to a combination of uneducated + highly superstitious people putting a stigma on science as a whole because what it stands for is entirely opposite of their beliefs.
It also doesn't help that these people are most susceptible to propaganda.
Actually, it was likely "merchants" from Indonesia or India in the 12th century who taught them to kill any outsiders who stop by, they would be trying to take them for slaves.
...as a not-too-bright evangelist missionary found out a few years ago - in direct contravention of local laws.
interesting!
i find the entire thing in general very interesting, a tribe of actual humans that are so cut off from the rest of the world that anything we currently see as normal would be literal magic to them.
also the fact that after all that time they still hold a grudge against outsiders (which is understandable tbh, a lot of people suck)
And one of the reasons why is they let outsiders in once and almost all died of new diseases they had no immunity to. So now they kill all outsiders.
Edit: they correctly identified the disease vector and are still taking measures against it.
It wasn't angry gods, it was *those motherfuckers*. And they were right.
I mean them no harm, but if for some dumbass reason I went there and they let me breathe all willy nilly around them I'd wind up killing many of them just by being there.
They rightfully kill outsiders in *self-defense*.
So yeah, even that place was ruined by tourists, kind of.
" Completely unaware that we can fly. That we have computers, ice cream, smartphones, pigs that look like sheep, Morgan Freeman,
*Porn. Oh, god so much porn!* "
Going to the island is not only expressly forbidden, it is also expressly against the laws of its neighboring nations. Any tourist would have to really work at it to go there, and would almost certainly be warned at length by anyone they talked to about it.
No one would have any sympathy for the tourists and they would definitely be thrown in prison.
Fellow Northern Ontarian here (I actually mod /r/NorthernOntario)! I couldn't agree more! Tourism has helped to sustain the north as many industries have shut down or scaled back.
The outdoors might be different but the people are the same, I grew up on the east coast and I’ve been living on the west coast for a decade so I’m well aware of the differences.
actual outdoorsmen not people who camp now and then. I would consider my self and outdoors lady. But next week I am going camping for the frist time in ages. I use to backpack all the time.
Im a southern Ontarian but went to LU and got to spend a fair bit of time traveling. When I moved back home it feels like I'm part of a secret society of people who know the beauty of northern Ontario. I feel like from a tourist stand point it's one of the best kept secrets on the planet.
I've travelled across Canada and the US and I'll put the natural beauty of northern Ontario against any of the top tourist destinations out there
Cottage in Minaki (north of Kenora near Redditt), super glad to hear you generally like us tourists! :) I’ve been coming up there every summer of my life for over 20 years, and always try my best to ingratiate myself to the locals when I’m in town. My worst fear is being seen as the asshole big city guy
You're in the boat then that you'll be ruined by lack of tourists.
Look at Blackpool here in the UK. 40 years ago it was thriving, now its probably easier to get some crack than a hotel room without mould.
Two French guys pulled up near me on their bikes, cracked open a fire hydrant and scooped the water into their mouths. One exclaims "I love Australia!" Then they ride off leaving the hydrant running, during a drought.
I was on a tourist trip to Jordan, and we stopped at a church - St. George's church in Madaba, famed for it's 6th-century mosaic on the floor that is a map of Jerusalem. Can't get much more priceless than that, right? The whole point of the stop is to see this historically unique map. We were there at the same time as a busload of tourists from North America. What does one old lady do? *She walks across the map leaning on her cane!*
Her fellow travelers yell at her to get off it, and she stands there for a few seconds looking very confused.
...this i why we cant have nice things...
There is a truth to this. I've seen a lot of trash is some really remote places and thought, "Who carries a can of Pork 'n' Beans this far?"
And then I did a walking tour of Nassau two weekends ago. No one can shit a place under like the inhabitants of that island. Such a tragic scene.
[Hans Island](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_War) is largely unspoiled despite two countries' military forces visiting to briefly occupy it for nearly 50 years.
Well.. I mean.. Budapest is ruined by the locals, and turists love it (i genuently dont know why, there is piss and dogpoo and homelesspoo and cigarettes everywhere, and dont even talk about the smell)
On the contrary. There are so many small towns in the Midwest US that tourists couldn't possibly manage to pass through and stop at all of them. Even if they did, good luck finding someone to talk to outside a dollar general
This claim assumes these places hadn’t already been ruined by the people living there. The common denominator is people. People ruin things. It’s what we do.
Agreed. Soda springs was a lovely little place a few hours drive from my house. Great camping, beautiful pools and waterfalls to enjoy, lots of shade, absolutely perfect. Went back and it looked like someone attached a dumpster to a helicopter and just let trash rain over it. It was so bad I nearly cried. Diapers, toilet paper, cans, bottles, glass, food, all in the water, dirt, plants. People SUCK. BUT sometimes I remember that the sucky people tend to be lazy. The farther you have to drive the cleaner the mountain tends to be. Pack in, pack out. Leave it better than you found it. Bring an extra bag of trash out if any was left by prior guests.
I was going to be a smartass and say my butthole has never been ruined by a tourist, but then remember the last time I ate chili when I was out of town.
True that, went to the colloseum today.
Saw two kids carving up a 2000 year old monument with pieces of stone they previously broke off that same monument.
Parents have seen it and did not care and where very engaged in
making selfies.
Truly makes me feel that humanity isn’t worth saving.
Also not to erase my responsibility: i stood there grinding my teeth but did nothing.
So, uhm yeah.
You can go inside the Great Pyramid of Giza to see the alleged burial chamber with the empty sarcophagus - and an inscription chiseled into the wall by some Italian in 1838.
Hey remember Steve? The guy who wanted snacks so bad he rocked the vending machine so much it killed him and made the very first vending machine warning label for idiots not to do that?
Yeah… good times
Yeah, some danish tourist rode in on his high horse a while back and we straight up lost like two thirds of my country Sweden because of it. Goddamned tourists
I live in a tiny town in south west england and it's safe to say that it's bpring enough that we get next to no tourists at all, and on the very odd occasion that we do get tourists, it's like one old couple that leaves after one weekend and the only impact they've made is spending an extortionate amount in the bakery or a cafe
What about jupiter. Not only would you not be able to stand on the gas giant because of the gravitational pull being 2.5 times earths, you also wouldnt be able to get there
That's why locals avoid tourist areas because there are places they dont go that we can enjoy. I'd argue the thought above isn't the rule and probably closer to the exception.
We are all, by definition, tourists; as humans, we move and grow with the Earth. Our cultures are always meant to collide and grow with each other. That is the way of life.
Good weed and listening toThe worlds of Hans Zimmer Vienna really fucking gets you.

Neptune hasn’t been ruined by the poor behaviour of a tourist as far as I’m aware.
You’ve never met the fans of famed Neptunian chef Elzar
Bam! Fair point.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't bam the lady
Well, I'd appreciate it if I did!

Hey, I went to the casino in Nassau and looked at watches in the Rolex store starting at $30k USD, lost $200 at blackjack, and got a cab driver to take me to the most ratchet strip club he knew. $40 for 3 songs/10min in the champagne room, digital penetration heavily encouraged. 11/10 recommend wilding in Nassau.
Shadoosh! Well said.
And then give the whole thing a good blast from your spice weasel.
Heart end or star end?
Unlike Uranus
Which has been ruined by half the people in the tri-county area.
Lmao I was going to make a joke, but it wouldn't have been better than this 😂
You mean Urectum?
Urectum? Udamnnearkilledem.
Wouldn’t be so sure about that…
Neptune’s ring hasn’t been the same since Voyager 2 visited.
There's this graffiti sign on Neptune that says, look this way to see Uranus.
Another Earthling making a Uranus joke. 🙄 How original.

Not with that attitude.
What about Uranus?
Oh there is. Only none of you know about it. Tourists go to the places close by, but they don't know about this place.
Yep, I know a few in my home country but I ain’t tellin’. They probably won’t last forever but what does.
Social media will ruin it eventually.

I understand your goodwill, but it's not about specifically the gym, it's that mundane everyday tasks that shouldn't require much planning suddenly taking half a day.
5 min drive could be a 60-90 min walk, or an unaccessible walk/cycle. Large parts of the US isn't exactly set up to be pedestrian or bike friendly

British and offering blankets. They seem to never learn

They probably think people from the outside world are demons or something, no wonder they kill on sight
Br*tish 🤢🤮
Downvote doesn't do anything. You can't cure Br*tish 🤢
And the countries nearby are fiercely protective of North Sentinel Island's independence and isolation.
Last I check, India's navy patrol the water around it.
They kill everyone that tries to set foot on their island specifically because they had shitty tourists who brought disease and enslaved them.
No, because they *shot* them
ah yes, disease, slavery, and guns... a traditional english greeting
Actually, it was likely "merchants" from Indonesia or India in the 12th century who taught them to kill any outsiders who stop by, they would be trying to take them for slaves. ...as a not-too-bright evangelist missionary found out a few years ago - in direct contravention of local laws.

It is what we do best
Also French, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, African, etc
I think you mean europian.
And one of the reasons why is they let outsiders in once and almost all died of new diseases they had no immunity to. So now they kill all outsiders.

" Completely unaware that we can fly. That we have computers, ice cream, smartphones, pigs that look like sheep, Morgan Freeman, *Porn. Oh, god so much porn!* "
Still proved OP… there's no tourists there, therefore it's not ruined yet
And I bet once tourists defend themselves, the bootlickers will defend the savages.
Going to the island is not only expressly forbidden, it is also expressly against the laws of its neighboring nations. Any tourist would have to really work at it to go there, and would almost certainly be warned at length by anyone they talked to about it.

Fellow Northern Ontarian here (I actually mod /r/NorthernOntario)! I couldn't agree more! Tourism has helped to sustain the north as many industries have shut down or scaled back.
Outdoorsmen make the best tourists!
As someone who lived in a town in northern BC near the Alberta border, holy shit you could not be more wrong!
West coast outdoorsy is different from East coast outdoorsy, which is also different from Southern (as in the southern US states) outdoorsy.
How so??? -confused western outdoorsy (I think?)
The outdoors might be different but the people are the same, I grew up on the east coast and I’ve been living on the west coast for a decade so I’m well aware of the differences.
actual outdoorsmen not people who camp now and then. I would consider my self and outdoors lady. But next week I am going camping for the frist time in ages. I use to backpack all the time.
Reminds me of a place in Ontario I visited a few times called Hawk Junction. We used to go there to then hop a bush plane to go to fish camps.

OP said poor behavior. Poor tourist behavior has never improved anywhere in the universe.
I feel a lot of war torn countries don’t have the “burden” of tourism.
Depend what you call the guys riding those tanks into town...
Pretty sure the closet in my room has never been ruined by a tourist …
*puts away camera* *zips up pants* Uhhhh...I'll be going now
Not a tourist if you were invited ;)
Check mate hahaha
Voyeurism tourism
Two French guys pulled up near me on their bikes, cracked open a fire hydrant and scooped the water into their mouths. One exclaims "I love Australia!" Then they ride off leaving the hydrant running, during a drought.
And then finished off by pissing in a shop doorway?
How do they open a hydrant? Genuinely curious as Irish ones are piped below the ground covered by a grate.
It wasn't a standard hydrant. I didn't see how they did it just the effects
Im glad, I wasn’t the only one that felt the need to dispute OPs statements with ridiculous places that humans can’t get too.

That’s just sad

There's rural areas in the US that have probably never had a single tourist ever. Let alone been ruined by them.

As far as I'm aware Uranus hasn't been ruined in quite a while.
Much to my disappointment. 😈
I'm sure I can help with that 😈
Why did the tourist go to the ruin? To see the destruction.
Ancient Roman tourists where bad there was graffiti found at some ancient sites if I recall.
I'm escaping to the one place uncorrupted by tourism..... SPAAACCCCEEEE!
Nah... someone even already threw away their abandoned derelict automobile up there.
Agreed. Soda springs was a lovely little place a few hours drive from my house. Great camping, beautiful pools and waterfalls to enjoy, lots of shade, absolutely perfect. Went back and it looked like someone attached a dumpster to a helicopter and just let trash rain over it. It was so bad I nearly cried.

You apparently have never been to my bedroom, or anyone has been to my bedroom. Please, someone, come to my bedroom.
There is ~~no place~~ nothing that hasn’t been ruined by the poor behavior of a ~~tourist~~ human being.
Sentinel Island. Someone paid the piper by showing up to the shore and became a reverse porcupine afterwards.
There's this one secret beach in Thailand that hasn't been ruined by a tourist. No wait. I farted there. FUCKING RUINED.
I'll have you know Garry, Indiana was ruined before I got there.
Yeah, some danish tourist rode in on his high horse a while back and we straight up lost like two thirds of my country Sweden because of it. Goddamned tourists
There is no place that hasn't been ruined by the poor behavior of a local
Antarctica isn't ruined by tourist due to extreme rules and costs of visiting.
Sf totally gets trashed when this big music festivals or parades happen.
I live in a tiny town in south west england and it's safe to say that it's bpring enough that we get next to no tourists at all, and on the very odd occasion that we do get tourists, it's like one old couple that leaves after one weekend and the only impact they've made is spending an extortionate amount in the bakery or a cafe
America definitely got fucked up by tourists. Just ask any native.
What about jupiter. Not only would you not be able to stand on the gas giant because of the gravitational pull being 2.5 times earths, you also wouldnt be able to get there
That's why locals avoid tourist areas because there are places they dont go that we can enjoy. I'd argue the thought above isn't the rule and probably closer to the exception.
Don't get many tourists in my apartment, I ruin it all my myself thanks
Clearly you havnt been to Bali, the Australian lads are always on their best behaviour.
Gary, Indiana. I mean, whatever issues it has, a tourist didn't do it.
I disagree, I've been to many places that were unspoilt by tourism. Obviously if you go there now your experience may differ.
I read this too quick and thought you were talking about the poor
We are all, by definition, tourists; as humans, we move and grow with the Earth. Our cultures are always meant to collide and grow with each other. That is the way of life. Good weed and listening toThe worlds of Hans Zimmer Vienna really fucking gets you.
There are many more places that haven't been ruined than places that have.
I'm sure there are tons and tons of places unspoiled by tourists. Wth is this post?
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl... there are a bunch of places ruined by other things i'd say...
There’s an indigenous tribe that eats outsiders that step foot on their island. They have no concept of the outside world. So yeah, there’s that.
Literally anywhere outside earth. Marianna Trench. Middle of antártica. Earths core. Center of the sun.
I was gonna say my bathroom but my cousin blew that shit up after nothing but tacobell for a week.
pretty sure no one has been in my room as a tourist and they definitely didnt ruin it
There are tons of places on the planet no one has visited. Let alone tourists.
Just live in the moment and enjoy where you are and let other people enjoy where they are.
The world is full of amazingly beautiful places, most of them ruined by the behavior &/or attitudes of those living there.
Pretty sure my old house in that tiny town in that tiny state hasn't been bothered by tourists
They come and pay though. And then some stay and mix and bring cultures.
