5 places that are best avoided if you are planning to travel in the next 2 months:

China

With the outbreak of the deadly Coronavirus, China is top of the list. People are striking out China from their travel lists. With each passing hour, the virus is spreading to new regions of the country.

Barcelona, Spain

One of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, Barcelona is reportedly now suffering from overpopulation of tourists.

Matterhorn, Switzerland

Matterhorn is a very popular tourist attraction in Switzerland. More and more people are dying every year in an attempt to climb this peak, be it from landslides or extreme temperatures. Though the Matterhorn is still open to the public, according to geologists, it is the warmer conditions and thawing permafrost that have led to more dangerous conditions in the mountains.

Bali, Indonesia

Sparkling blue waters and pristine beaches are the first things that come to mind when we talk about Bali. But even this place is so overpopulated by tourists that their government had to declare a garbage emergency in 2017. The tourist resorts and golf courses are making it difficult for local farmers by sucking up all the water.
