The Dominican Republic attracts millions of tourists each year, and it's not hard to see why. This Caribbean gem boasts one of the largest water parks in the region and offers a taste of luxury villa life without the luxury price tag. Plus, it also served as one of the filming locations in "Love Is Blind" Season 6, so yeah, it's got some serious pull. But while the Dominican Republic has plenty to brag about, it's also earned a not-so-glamorous reputation for something else: food poisoning. It's unfortunately a recurring issue, especially among tourists.

Rosemary Beach, FL

While relaxing and unwinding on the Florida seaside might be high on many travelers' lists, the underrated town of Rosemary Beach is usually not — and it's a hidden gem that won't stay undiscovered forever. Located on Florida's famed Highway 30A, this stunning stretch of beach is fantastic for a lowkey beach getaway, offering an exclusive and luxurious experience without feeling pretentious. Throughout the town, you'll see visitors (and residents) in flip-flops traveling on pastel-colored bicycles with their beach bags and to-go picnic lunches.

Popular tourist destinations in Greece, including Athens and Santorini, are struggling with overcrowding and economic strain.

Greece is in the middle of an anti-cruise rebellion, with locals complaining about over-tourism and trashed streets

When you're on a plane, sometimes you're limited in ways to stave off boredom. If you don't want to pay extra for on-board WiFi, you're stuck with offline options, like books, certain games, and whatever apps on your phone you have that don't require the internet. In-flight entertainment is also an option, but depending on the length of your trip and your preferences, sometimes there's only so much you can do before boredom creeps in again. For example, some people don't enjoy reading on planes or watching movies, so there isn't much to do. This is especially the case when you book cheap, last-minute flights that reroute you to different airports instead of providing you with a direct flight.

This Beautiful Greek Island Is Often Overlooked by Tourists — and It Has Some of the Best Beaches in the Country

Albuquerque, NM

While Hollywood may be a juggernaut of entertainment, it's hardly the only American film city worth planning a vacation around. Albuquerque, New Mexico has been a film destination for years, and the industry there just keeps growing — in 2024, Netflix announced they were expanding their operations there. Albuquerque was founded on the banks of the Rio Grande River near the Sandia Mountains, and it gets over 300 days of sunshine each year.

If you're planning a Greek vacation, it's a pretty good bet that you're going to be visiting Santorini. In 2023, there were 3.4 million visitors to the small island with a population of only around 20,000. Cruise ships bring in around 17,000 passengers a day to Santorini. That means, if you want to see the famous Santorini sunset from the town of Oia, you're going to be packed in with tons of other people (as you can see in the pic below), and even worse, you could be waiting hours to get a ferry from the ship and more time to take a chair lift to the city. It's gotten bad enough on Santorini with overcrowding from cruise ships that some cruise lines are canceling planned stops, meaning that, even if you've booked a cruise there, you still might not see it.

Nothing beats a vacay at the beach, but depending on where you are traveling, the beach could vary a lot from the picture-perfect scenes in most travel magazines. It could be crowded and noisy, deserted and rocky, or serene with stunningly clear blue waters. Balandra Beach in Mexico fits the bill for that last description, and it consistently ranks among the top beaches in the world. For the 2024 ranking of The World's 50 Best Beaches, Playa Balandra ranked sixteenth for its gorgeous white sand dunes and mountainous backdrop.
