The article is accompanied by a series of travel related articles on postives and negatives of tourism and travel. The whole makes some very interesting reading. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12113285/site/newsweek/ I was fascinated by one describing how tourism had brought back ancient traditions.

I hope members give more alternatives. Here proper examples of endangered destinations: Sub-Sahara Africa: corruption,AIDS & criminals Israel/Palestine/Iraq: war and violence Middle and S.America - drugs and corruption Switzerland & Scandinavia: far too expensive more? While other countries are opening up the way for tourism like China, Russia and all east Europe countries and many more, others prefere to be isolated!
