  • What destinations are experiencing "undertourism"?

  • My guilty pleasure is watching those YouTube videos of people vacationing at absurdly cheap caravan parks, and the general vibe I get is that these places are pretty run down but are surprisingly adequate if all you're looking to do is get away from town. Low-cost European carriers have definitely done a number on a lot of domestic UK resorts though - they simply aren't competitive for the reasons you've stated.

  • I tend to run pretty hot. Right before I visited Japan in January, I was in Southeast Asia and dying from the heat. The locals told me it was the coolest time of the year yet I was struggling to survive... I am partial to a mild winter I guess.

  • I liked getting the Sendai Area Pass and just taking the Loopie bus. It was a pretty good value and in many of the smaller attractions, I was the only tourist there that day (like the Sankyozawa 100-Year Electric History Center).

    It made it pretty easy to see Sendai in two days. The only thing that was closed in the winter that I would've liked to see were the University of Tohoku's botanical gardens (not that there aren't other botanical gardens I couldn't have gone to).

    I really enjoyed Gyutan too (beef tongue) too. I don't know if I got to try high-quality beef but I definitely enjoyed the food.

  • This is a great find. I remember about a year ago, people were speculating that Air Greenland was going to become a partner of Air Canada - my hopes were dashed when that didn't materialize.

  • None of these sources point to tourism promotion in Mogadishu.

  • I think I'm going to need a source for that...

    On top of that, there's little tourism infrastructure in Mogadishu so I doubt that. There's basically Omar and Ali's Visit Mogadishu outfit and his guest house, and that's really about it.

  • I'm surprised I guess, BRQ airport has seasonal connections across Europe...

  • Not sure that counts - there's like 4 hotels in the whole area.

  • Any advice you might have for wandering off the beaten path into some of these villages?

    I think this kind of thing is mostly viable because of the strength of Japan's land transit system.

  • I'd say it counts so long as they aren't basically closing for the off-season.

  • Highly recommend it, especially between the edges of off-season and shoulder season. I went to Fukushima and was basically one of two tourists in town (the other being a Rwandan artist-in-residence). When I was in Sendai in January, the most touristed attraction (Sendai Castle ruins) couldn't have had more than 40 visitors, and I remember taking a $10 airport limo bus to the hotel meant for 55 travelers, and I was the only one on it. I've made it a goal to visit Akita and Aomori in the future.
