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 places?

In today’s world, offbeat destinations are becoming increasingly popular tourist attractions.

Locations

like the Sahara desert and Antarctica with extreme weather and landscapes are being frequented by more visitors than ever before.

This

style of tourism has both benefits and disadvantages, which

this

essay seeks to explain. On the one hand, places with extreme

are hard to physically get to.

For instance

, cruises to Antarctica only operate about 3 months of the year when conditions are favourable.

This

means that there is only a small window of time for

tourists

to plan their visit.

As a result

,

tourists

need to plan years in advance to ensure they are able to work around their busy schedule for a trip like

this

. Antarctic or Sahara expeditions are certainly not trips that can be taken at a moment’s notice.

Furthermore

,

due to

their extreme climate,

tourists

visiting

such

regions need to be very careful about avoiding severe damage to their health from conditions like hypothermia or heat stroke.

Lastly

, these

locations

are often located far from the rest of civilization which makes some modern comforts like hotels and food both difficult to find and expensive. Prices of accommodation in remote areas like

this

can skyrocket

due to

little market competition.

As a result

, a trip to

such

locations

can

also

be cost-prohibitive to many. On the flip side,

however

, these

locations

can offer a once-in-a-lifetime

experience

for individuals who are willing to brave the hurdles described above. Antarctica,

for instance

, is the only continent that humans have not permanently inhabited yet

nature in a pristine and unadulterated form like nowhere else on the planet.

Moreover

, with the rising population, most of the traditionally popular tourist sites like Paris, NYC have become immensely crowded during peak season. Visiting

locations

off-the-beaten-path gives

tourists

an opportunity to

experience

the location in a much better and less commercialized way. In conclusion, visiting

locations

with extreme conditions undoubtedly poses some challenges to

tourists

.

However

, working through those challenges can afford a truly magical

experience

as well.
