Which countries stopped loving tourists: list.
In 2024, the number of tourists increased rapidly, making it a record year for the tourism industry. Venice, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and other European cities experienced a tense tourist season due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is predicted that 2024 will also be a record year for the number of visitors. However, the locals of some countries do not warmly accept tourists.
Japan
Japan is considered one of the least hospitable countries for tourists. Its closeness and unique culture are noted for their mystery. Tipping and speaking loudly are not customary here. Tourists who behave improperly or do not speak Japanese may provoke a negative reaction from local residents.
China
China attracts millions of tourists from around the world. But there are local rules that should be known. It is customary to pay in Chinese currency and respect local customs. Criticizing China's policies can lead to deportation from the country.
France
The French treat tourists politely and respectfully. However, they want tourists to learn at least a few phrases in French. They also do not like it when tourists do not respect local customs and do not learn the language.
Monaco
Monaco is a small country but offers luxury and beauty for tourists. Rich people live here who value peace and quiet. A large number of tourists is not welcomed, especially for expatriates.
Norway
Norway is known for its restraint, but its people are polite. Many Norwegians are fluent in English and ready to help tourists. However, there are areas where locals are not as pleased with the presence of tourists, especially in popular places.
Southern Europe
Greece, Spain, Italy, and other Southern European countries are also overly filled with tourists. This has caused dissatisfaction among locals and authorities. Fines, bans, and other measures are being taken to limit the number of tourists. In some cities, short-term housing rentals for tourists have even been banned.
Different countries have their own characteristics and rules for tourists. Therefore, it is worth being attentive and respecting local customs to have a pleasant tourist experience.
