Amazing Places To Visit Before They Change Forever

Are you bored with your usual vacation destinations? Have you ever asked yourself if there’s a place where you will be the first, or at least one of the few firsts to discover it? Well, here is a nice list for you because you are not alone in your dream to discover amazing places before they change forever.

Antarctica

In 2016, Antarctica marks its commercial tourism’s 50th anniversary. Undeniably, tourists want to visit this place before it changes forever. According to experts, Antarctic has been suffering from air temperature changes, which is definitely destructible.

Due to this increase in air temperature, many penguin species have been declining, and a major decrease in Antarctic krill has also been recorded.

Venice

There’s no denying that Venice is one of the most loved island paradises in the world—yet it is also known that the city is already on the verge of sinking.

You should visit the Great Barrier Reef now before it’s late. The biggest coral reef around the world is endangered because of environment-related problems that have been consistently destroying the structure in the past decades.

Cuba

Although unreachable by cruise ships, Cuba’s tourist arrivals have increased, mainly due to the decreasing travel limitations in the U.S. According to travel operators, hotels in the island are always fully booked since the first quarter of 2015.
