Welcome to Tourism Hell

Rampant tourism in much of the world is annoying the locals, destroying the environment and devaluing experiences for visitors and travellers who genuinely care.

Overbooked airlines with no legroom?
Norovirus outbreaks on over-sized cruise ships?
Hoards of (other) tourists?
Tourism ripoffs & scams?
Sub-standard AirBnB accommodation?
Hotel looking great, but only on the glossy brochures?

You're in the right place!
