We like to talk about beautiful countries that everyone wants to go to to enjoy their vacations. However, it would be very unfair to say that only the most visited deserve our attention. There are those that for different reasons do not convince tourists, and that they have a series of attractions that more than one would like to know.
The ones you can see below are the least visited countries in the world based on the data recorded in 2016. Would you like to know them?
1- Tuvalu
French Polynesia is made up of four very beautiful countries. One of them is Tuvalu, which according to the World Tourism Organization only received the visit of 2,000 people in 2016.
2- Kiribati
This other country in French Polynesia also does not enjoy the reputation of Samoa and Fiji, which are capable of attracting many more tourists. Only 4,000 people passed by Kiribati wanting to see its 33 coral atolls.
3- Sao Tome and Principe
From Oceania to Africa to talk about a country made up of several islands located in the Gulf of Guinea . Only about 8,000 people enjoyed its fantastic beaches in 2016.
4- Comoros
Also in Africa, Comoros is a country made up of three islands located north of Mozambique. It is a paradisiacal place, with perfect beaches for diving due to the richness of its seabed. In 2016 it received the visit of 24,000 international tourists.
5- Djibouti
In the horn of Africa there is a small country called Djibouti that borders Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. It is not the destination one dreams of when spending a luxurious vacation, so it is not surprising that only 51,000 people passed by in 2016. Of course, those who have been there have hallucinated with natural beauty.
6- San Marino
The oldest sovereign state in the world is also the fifth smallest state in the world. Its small size has a negative influence on the tourism it receives, and that it is within a country as touristy as Italy. In 2016 it received the visit of 60,000 people.
7- East Timor
It is rare for a Southeast Asian country to be on this list, as some of the most visited in the world are there. East Timor, however, did not exceed 66,000 in 2016. This, in part, has to do with the high levels of crime and crime that occur every year. Armed robberies and vehicle attacks are not an urban legend.
8- Lietchtenstein
The fourth smallest country in Europe (behind Vatican City, Monaco and San Marino) is of a beauty that deserves more than 69,000 visitors. The fact of not having an airport or access to the sea complicates the arrival of tourists.
9- Sierra Leone
We do not move from Africa to speak of the eighth least visited country in the world. Almost 75,000 tourists enjoyed a place where luckily they are no longer at war (they stopped being in 2002).
10- Moldova
We ended up in Europe to talk about Moldova. It is a country located between Romania and Ukraine that received the visit of 121,000 people in 2016. Of course, I am convinced that it will soon abandon this list, since its capital, Chisinau , is considered an emerging tourist destination.
