Bali, Indonesia
It’s cheap and it’s beautiful, and that has been its downfall. Word has gotten out that Bali makes a great beach pit-stop on the way to and from Australia, but many people come with scant regard for local culture, Responsible Travel says.
“Boatloads of tourists mob dolphins off the coast of Lovina, Denpasar’s beaches are scattered with plastic waste, and on August 2019 two misbehaving tourists got in trouble for frolicking in holy water in Ubud,” Francis says. The island has imposed a tourist tax to manage the crowds, but there’s much more work to be done to improve conditions.
