Places you would never want to go on Hoilday

[JoeyBartonHanson]

Can be anywhere

I will start
Magualf
Blackpool (I live in Lancashire)

I just came back from Turkey and it was lovely and I'd defo go back - you tend to get a much nicer hotel for your money than you do in say Spain. Not all areas are dangerous and most popular resorts will be fine, the security at the airports is really high too.

My own list consists of mostly anywhere long haul, I get restless after about four hours stuck in one seat! Defo Australia (spiders can do one) or any ski destinations (the uk is more than cold enough for me)

Pontins- went once for 3 days, came home after one night. Hideous!

Gran Caneria- just never fancied it
Blackpool
Dubai

Loved- Montenegro, an amazing place

Would love to visit- all America states, Canada, Iceland, Seychelles, Porto Rico, Japan, China, Siberia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark,

Any theme park anywhere
Dubai

It's no good, I'm going to have to stop reading this thread, people are spouting so much bullshit about places they've clearly never been or know anything about, it's giving me the rage 🙈

Just thought of another one, Saudi Arabia, no thanks.

UAE, too hot, too new, poor human rights especially for females. Anywhere that stipulates what I wear is out too, I don't actually like skimpy clothes but I don't want men telling me what I can wear

Australia !

Benidorm
Magaluf
Cape Verde
I love Walesvand love there

I love Wales and live there

Gosh, I have been to most of these places.

Travel broadens the mind and all that. Don't knock it until you have tried it.

With PPs on Dubai and other Gulf states.
Also Florida, Las Vegas, Disneyland wherever, magaluf, Benidorm.

Actually really disappointed by Barbados - lovely people but eye-wateringly expensive and VERY geared up to all-inclusive resort style holidays, not independent travellers. Thought I would love it ...but no.

Russia, Ukraine, not fussed by Baltic states or Iceland - mostly too cold for me.

Shocked by people dismissing an entire continent!!! - Africa, which is incredibly diverse. Beautiful (Uganda, South Africa, Tanzania, Ethiopia), historic (Egypt, Morocco, Ethiopia again) amazing wildlife (Central and Eastern Africa) and mesmeric. Anywhere sub-Saharan, the people and culture get "under your skin".

JanisJoplin there is no ‘climate situation ‘, it’s all propaganda.

Remember the polar bear adrift on the ice cap, the acid rain, rising sea levels, carbon footprints, now it’s plastic straws and plastic bags, next who knows?

It’s a load of tosh and nonsense designed to create a sense of shame, fear and anxiety about the work because then we are much easier to control.

Gulf States
Pakistan
Portugal

@nearlythere1 - I lived in turkey for 9 months last year and couldn’t agree less with your description. It’s a stunning country of huge variety with friendly people who were nothing but welcoming. We didn’t live near a big resort, I will agree parts of Turkey have been ruined by mass tourism but plenty of magical places remain. I now work in westminster and feel much more jumpy about terrorism than I ever did in Turkey.

Oh and India as another one. In all honesty though I only really enjoy an all inclusive prepares to be judged

Can't believe how many people have said Turkey!! It's bloody amazing. Dh is a history buff and we spent a month backpacking all over Anatolia. It was fabulous. Great sights, history, nature, food, people. Istanbul was just superb. What's not to like let alone make the list of detested places?!

I'm sure that the county is beautiful and, individually the (admittedly few) Turkish people I have met have all been lovely people. My issues are with the government.

Amazed at people saying most of Africa!
Africa is a very diverse continent with each country being unique...

I’m with thenightsky, whilst there’s plenty of places I’d prefer to go, I’d not say no to anywhere. Tenerife doesn’t interest me much but I know that the north is a lot different to the south.

I can’t think of a single place I wouldn’t go to. And far too many that I’m super keen to explore (several mentioned on here)

India (purely down to the food)
It’s one of the main reasons I go!

Wouldn’t go to any Disney Park, or Persian gulf, or anywhere pure touristy, like Blackpool.

Benidorm
Palma

Israel is a beautiful country BTW. The resorts not so much these days.

I have been to all of this places that one or more didn't want to go to. You are missing out.
