Overview
- Fodor’s named Antarctica, the Canary Islands, Glacier National Park, Isola Sacra, the Jungfrau Region, Mexico City, Mombasa and Montmartre as places that should get a breather in 2026.
- The publisher said the list is a nudge to defer trips rather than a boycott, citing crowding, fragile ecosystems and strain on local communities.
- Antarctic tourism reached about 120,000 visitors in 2023–24 with no formal caps, a trajectory experts say is stressing a delicate environment.
- Glacier National Park is warming nearly twice the global average, with only about 27 of roughly 150 early‑20th‑century glaciers remaining, fueling last‑chance visitation.
- Glacier has used timed‑entry reservations during peak summer hours since 2020, while the Canary Islands have seen resident protests and worsening traffic tied to record tourism.
