Italy, Greece, France, and Spain are encouraging travelers to explore lesser-known destinations in 2025, as overcrowded tourist hotspots become increasingly unappealing. Emphasizing hidden gems, these countries aim to reshape holiday choices for a more authentic experience.
Spain’s anti-tourism activists are gearing up for another summer of protests, planning to “occupy beaches” to voice their dissent against overcrowding and commercialization. In response, British tourists are pushing back against the “do not come” sentiment.
As travel trends shift, a new favorite is emerging for 2025: Croatia. With its stunning coastline, rich history, and vibrant culture, this hidden gem is poised to outshine traditional hotspots like Spain, Italy, and Greece. Tourists are taking note.
