While destinations like Bangkok and Paris attract millions of visitors each year, there are still countries that have retained their unspoiled beauty and unique culture, untouched by mass tourism. Based on data from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), let’s explore the 10 least visited countries in the world.
10. Angola:
A land of true adventure. After decades of civil war, Angola still retains stunning landscapes that are unlike any other. Despite improvements in tourism since 2017, Angola remains relatively inaccessible due to infrastructure and climate challenges. It is the ideal destination for explorers and adventurers.
9. Burkina Faso:
A place where traditions are preserved. Burkina Faso is steeped in indigenous cultures with masked dances, mud mosques and nomadic Tuareg communities. However, the unstable security situation, with the risk of terrorist attacks and kidnappings, means that most tourists stay in the capital, Ouagadougou.
8. Cook Islands:
A hidden paradise in the Pacific Ocean. With 15 islands spread across a vast expanse of ocean, the Cook Islands exude a sense of remoteness and tranquility. Boasting stunning tropical scenery, the area is a popular destination for activities such as deep-sea fishing and mountain biking. Its remote location and high travel costs have kept it from attracting many visitors.
7. Liechtenstein:
The jewel of Europe. This small country is known for its wealth and majestic mountain scenery. With between 80,000 and 101,000 visitors a year, Liechtenstein is a great destination for hikers and those who enjoy quiet spaces.
6. Papua New Guinea:
Land of diversity. Papua New Guinea boasts rich cultural diversity and breathtaking natural beauty with rainforests, coral reefs and wildlife. However, the unstable security situation has limited the number of tourists coming to the country.
5. Vanuatu:
A cultural treasure trove in the middle of the Pacific. With over 113 languages and many dialects, Vanuatu is one of the most diverse regions in the world. Despite its stunning beaches, the high cost of travel is one of the reasons why it has limited tourist numbers.
4. Samoa:
The cradle of Polynesia. Samoa impresses with its wildlife and stunning scenery. The largest islands, Upolu and Savai'i, offer incredible nature experiences with rainforests, hidden pools and stunning diving spots.
3. Tonga:
Kingdom of the friendly islands. Tonga consists of 176 islands, of which only 40 are inhabited. The country focuses on preserving Polynesian traditions and rituals, creating a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.
2. Bhutan:
The Kingdom of Happiness. Bhutan protects itself from mass tourism by adopting a sustainable tourism policy with a fairly high daily tourist tax. This helps preserve the country's culture and natural environment.
1. Kiribati:
The world’s least visited country. Kiribati, with its stunning coral atolls and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is the least known destination. The impact of Covid-19, poor infrastructure and climate change are major challenges for the country’s tourism industry.
