Why I’m Loving Intrepid Travel’s ‘Not Hot List’

Overtourism was a huge issue, with tourists flocking to the same places at the same time.

This puts a massive strain on the local communities, infrastructure and accommodations.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Intrepid Travel have released their ‘Not Hot List’, offering a fresh take on travel recommendations.

This list shines a light on 10 underrated destinations from Greenland to Ghana.

These destinations are perfect alternatives to the usual hotspots with tourist taxes and frustrated locals.

They offer a chance to explore beyond the typical tourist traps and experience something truly unique.

Discover Lesser-Known Gems

The 'Not Hot' List isn’t just about where to go; it’s about where to go differently.

Intrepid has also introduced new trips in lesser-visited places like Greenland, Mongolia, Ghana, and Cape York in Australia.

It’s all about embracing authentic experiences and spreading the benefits of tourism more evenly.

What I love most about this list is its focus on responsible tourism.

Visiting these unsung spots helps create employment opportunities, supports local businesses, and preserves traditions.

It also promotes cultural understanding, which can be a powerful tool for tolerance and peace.

There’s something truly special about travelling to places that aren’t overrun with tourists.

You get a more authentic experience, connect deeply with the local culture, and contribute positively to the community.
