As a flood of news headlines highlighting overtourism, it's easy to think that the planet is simply full. But away from the well-worn tourist trails, you'll discover another travel story entirely different. In much of the world, there are places that are eager to welcome tourists. Based on the most recent data by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), in 2017, nearly 87 million international tourists arrived in France; yet mere 2,000 international tourists visited the South Pacific country of Tuvalu, where it's easy to find a beach -- or even an entire island -- to yourself. The same data reflect many of the world's least-visited countries and territories, where you'll find gorgeous natural beauty, culture and history without pushing through bunches of selfie sticks. Imagine lounging on Sierra Leone beaches, exploring Liechtenstein's mountaintop castles or shipwreck diving in the South Pacific! How rewarding it can be to leave the popular sites behind. If you can't picture a week in Kiribati or imagine the flavor of Timor Leste's traditional cuisine, it's OK. By spinning the globe and booking a flight to a country you know little about, you'll infuse the journey with a sense of wonder. That, after all, is what travel is for.
