Avoid the Crowds: Phuket Leads the List of Overcrowded Tourist Destinations in 2025
Travel experts are cautioning tourists to steer clear of several overcrowded destinations in 2025. Phuket, Thailand is at the top of the list, boasting a staggering 840,000 visitors per square kilometer. This figure far surpasses its local population of a mere 70,000 residents.
The report released today sheds light on how popular destinations, such as Paris, Miami, Barcelona, and Kuala Lumpur, have seen such a spike in tourist traffic that exploring these places has become “tedious and less enjoyable.” These once secluded locations have morphed into mainstream hotspots, largely propelled by social media influence and travel content creators.
Tourism officials recommend travelers to contemplate alternative destinations for a more serene and authentic travel experience. This suggestion comes as overtourism continues to put pressure on infrastructure and degrade the quality of visits for both tourists and local communities.
