Some places that we most people dont visit

1. HIDDEN PLACES IN
THE WORLD

2. A TOURIST DESTINATION IS A CITY, TOWN,
OR OTHER AREA THAT IS DEPENDENT TO A
SIGNIFICANT EXTENT ON REVENUES FROM
TOURISM, OR "A COUNTRY, STATE, REGION,
CITY, OR TOWN WHICH IS MARKETED OR
MARKETS ITSELF AS A PLACE FOR TOURISTS
TO VISIT". IT MAY CONTAIN ONE OR MORE
TOURIST ATTRACTIONS AND POSSIBLY SOME
"TOURIST TRAPS"

3. GOING TO EXOTIC OR HIDDEN PLACES IS SOMETHING WE ALL DREAM
ABOUT, BUT WHETHER THEY’RE JUST SUPER HARD TO ACCESS OR HAVE

THEM ARE HIGH SECURITY GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS, BUT THERE ARE EVEN
