Fodor's No List: 15 travel destinations to reconsider in 2025

For over 80 years, Fodor's Travel has offered expert travel advice, with over 700 local writers and vacation experts offering an insider guide on what to do and see in over 8,000 worldwide destinations.

Usually, the publication is known for providing long lists of recommendations ranging from where to eat, and where to splurge, to what to see and when to see it.

Once a year, though, the writers change their tack with their 'No List', which aims to shine a light on destinations "suffering from untenable popularity".

Although undesrtandably popular, these highly coveted tourist spots are struggling to keep up with the waves of people landing in their communities.

Perennial 'No List' destinations

  1. Bali, Indonesia (previously on the No List in 2020)
  2. Barcelona (previously on the No list in 2020 and 2023)
  3. Mallorca (previously on the No list in 2019)
  4. Canary Islands
  5. Venice (previously on the No list in 2018, 2023 and 2024)
  6. Lisbon
  7. Koh Samui, Thailand (previously on the No list in 2024)
  8. Mount Everest (previously on the No list in 2018)

Destinations beginning to suffer

While these destinations may not have garnered widespread media attention like those previously listed, Fodor writers say that industry insiders have started expressing concerns based on their observations and experiences.

  1. Agrigento, Sicily, Italy
  2. British Virgin Islands
  3. Kerala, India
  4. Kyoto, Japan
  5. Tokyo, Japan
  6. Oaxaca, Mexico
