Travel destinations, activities to avoid in 2020, according to Fodor’s – Business Insider

Fodor's Travel has released its fourth annual "No List," highlighting the destinations, activities, and businesses that they recommend travelers reconsider in the upcoming year for ethical, environmental, and political reasons.

"Every year, we use the No List to highlight issues that we're thinking about before, during, and long after we travel," Jeremy Tarr, the Editorial Director of Fodors.com, said in a press release. "Being featured on the No List is hardly a scarlet letter. Rather, it's a promise that when Fodor's covers the destinations on the list, we'll be doing so responsibly warts and all."

The Fodor's editorial team chose the destinations on the 2020 No List from over 100 potential destinations. Previous lists have included, among others,Venice and Machu Picchu, both of which have enacted measures against overtourism in recent years.

This year, Fodor's also included more general types of destinations and activities sustainable travelers ought to avoid, including select bars, hotels, and elephant riding.

From a street in Hanoi where tourists jump out in front of trains in order to capture the perfect Instagram shot to beaches in Bali strewn with trash, the 2020 list includes destinations that need some time away from tourists or ones that pose safety risks. Take a look:
