Today more and more tourists are visiting places where conditions are difficult, such as the Sahara desert or the Antarctic. What are the benefits and disadvantages for tourists who visit such place?

Visiting remote places are becoming more popular nowadays.

This

kind of tourism offers new opportunities to travellers, but it

also

has its drawbacks. In

this

essay we shall discuss the advantages and disadvantages of visiting areas where conditions are rough.

To begin

with, certain landscapes and natural wonders located only in remote areas are unique and cannot be seen anywhere else in the world. No landscape is comparable to the Sahara desert or the Antarctic. If one wants to explore the wild nature and breathtaking scenery, one has to deal with difficult terrain. A clear example of

that is

the testimony of the Norwegian explorer Ann Straus. Straus, after enduring the perils of the Antarctic winter for 6 months describes in his biography one of the most beautiful sunrises ever seen by the human eye.

Thus

, it is evident that there are some worthwhile places where conditions do not allow regular tourism.

On the other hand

, venturing into wild places can be tremendously dangerous as well. Many rookie adventurers and travellers perished while exploring unexplored lands.

For example

, the Red Cross warned that in the

last

two decades the casualties related with

this

kind of tourism increased by 75%. It is not hard to see that sometimes the price for venturing into

such

areas is too high. To conclude, some of the most beautiful landscapes on Earth are found only in exceedingly dangerous areas. While the memories of

such

trips will remain etched in the mind for a long time, they can be quite dangerous and the travellers may even lose their lives. In the future, perhaps some travel companies will organise tours to these locations so these gifts of nature could be safely enjoyed by everyone.
