The Data Is Beautiful page on the Reddit social network has published a list of countries to which tourists do not want to return. Among them are the countries of Egypt and Turkey, which are often visited by tourists. The main arguments are low attitudes towards “others”, sexual violence, an abundance of dirty places, and other situations that cause conflict. The list includes countries such as Syria and Afghanistan that tourists hesitate to visit, as well as countries such as Japan, the United States, and the UAE, which have become everyone’s dream.
Let’s focus on the countries on the list:
Japan
“It is a modern, beautiful country, people are generous, but I was not allowed to have close relations with them,” said one of the affected tourists. “Hazen” can encounter mischievous teenagers who throw things and make people angry. And adults mask traditional Japanese politeness and dislike foreigners, travelers say. In addition, fat people are ridiculed in Japan, they complained.
Egypt
“The chances of becoming a victim of sexual violence in this country are very high – in addition to the tourist areas of Cairo, you can experience this during a tour of the pyramids of Cheops (bend down and walk through a dark tunnel) when you can.” neither forward nor backward,” one of the girls says.
Also, most commentators wrote that people are sick of unsanitary conditions and beggars in the country.

Tourists write that people on the street can argue and touch you because you are not a Muslim.
Gambia in West Africa
“The most corrupt country in the world,” says one tourist. However, this “glory” still exists.
UAE
“Unprecedented theft of Western culture. Why did I fly 12 hours from New York? All I saw were cheesecake factories, Wendy’s, Californian pizzerias, and stuff. You will not find the real world, ”said one of the fans.
Turkey
Again the same sexual violence. “Insolent men will chase you from the corner,” says one of the tourists.
Afghanistan

Another country that received the title of “country of bribery.” At the same time, they were dissatisfied with the actions of their “colleagues” – wealthy European pensioners who came to this country. According to tourists, rich people come here to have sex with girls under 18.

Brazil

New York is a very dirty city and there are a lot of beggars. I saw two people stabbing each other with a knife in the middle of the night. I saw him lying, ”wrote the tourists.
Jamaica
