Whatever the reason may be, they’ve drawn attention to the forgotten corners of the world and made them relevant again through visual documentation (aka pictures). Why this is the case is a mystery in of itself, since it’s unclear if it’s personal preference or perhaps the lack of people in these places is comforting to those who don’t like big crowded areas.

So what may have seemed appealing to one generation of tourists may not appeal to another. On top of that, people’s expectations for what they want out of a vacation in terms of services and entertainment change overtime. After all, we have our own preferences about where we would like to spend our vacations at which may not be the same as someone else’s. While the tourist industry generally promotes places that one can relax and have fun at, there’s no way to really predict what’s going to appeal to tourists as far as certainty is concerned.
