Dubai
Australia
Turkey

Australia- they are so racist and I hate the way they treat indigenous people. And for the same reasons Poland, Romania, Albania and most places in Europe.

Bestfootforward1 · 13/05/2019 21:24

Berwick.

Likethebattle · 13/05/2019 21:25

Turkey
Gulf States
New Orleans or Florida too swampy
Australia is too fat so I don’t want to travel that fat when nothing really appeals to me.
I was in Majorca recently and we decided one day to go to Magaluf and see for ourselves what it was like..,,what an absolute shithole, I would rather not have a holiday than go there (although Benidorm at 18 on a girls holiday was fab).
China
India (my good friend is Indian but the crowds, heat and how unclean it is freaks me out.

Dubai,
All adult only resorts,

Dubai, and any other state which runs on slave labour.

Iran - I know it’s not the only country which abuses human rights, but the regime chills me.

North Korea - it has actual concentration camps and punishes people for the “crimes” of their relatives.

Chernobyl - yes tourists do visit on special tours.

French Polynesia - it looks like paradise but the contamination from the French nuclear testing would put me off.

Wimbledonwomble · 13/05/2019 21:27

Pontins (not if you paid me)
Leysdown, Isle of Sheppey. Went in my early twenties. Dump.
Benidorm
Don't fancy India/Pakistan as worried about getting ill but reckon it would be interesting.
Tunisia
Beirut

Been to Dubai - would go back
Devon is one of my favourite places on earth!

FishCanFly · 13/05/2019 21:27

Many places. Most of Africa (except Morocco), China, India, Central America, Gulf states, Israel. However, would be very curious to visit Iran or Pakistan

Puzzledandpissedoff · 13/05/2019 21:27

Bangkok - went once, which was more than enough for a lifetime
Las Vegas - as above
Iceland - grey, dismal, boring
South Africa - just doesn't appeal
Any theme park, anywhere - can't stand the corporate manipulation

Iwantacookie · 13/05/2019 21:27

Dubai or anywhere you can get arrested for the smallest thing
Iraq or anywhere where there's a war.
Australia or anywhere with spiders like there's

cuppycakey · 13/05/2019 21:27

Dubai
Benidorm
Japan (went for business and it was horrible)
Blackpool

Bigpizzalover · 13/05/2019 21:28

Maldives

Purpletigers · 13/05/2019 21:28

Dubai and countries with similar attitudes to women . Florida , Las Vegas .
Places with huge disparities of wealth where people live in gated communities like South Africa.
I’d love to visit Croatia, Japan, Canada and Russia .

alphajuliet123 · 13/05/2019 21:30

Bradford has much improved in recent years, still wouldn't go on holiday there but the mirror pool is brilliant on a hot day!

A friend of mine has been to over 100 countries and says the only two he wouldn't go back to are Pakistan and Jamaica.

Personally I'm not fussed about the middle east, China or Japan

Places you would never want to go on Hoilday
Fraxion · 13/05/2019 21:30

I never wanted to go to Australia and went under duress but we are not long back and it was bloody fantastic.

China and India are definitely not on my want to visit list.

Maldives
Jamaica
Barbados
Benidorm

yabadabadontdoit · 13/05/2019 21:33

Bradford has Ilkley and Saltaire as part of it, both tourist destinations. Wouldn’t go to the rest as a tourist though
