There are usually too many visitors on vacation at well-known tourism spots,especially during public holidays. In some well-known tourism spots,visitors can only move one melter every ten minutes. It can't make visitors spend relaxing and enjoyable vacations.
Besides crowds,spending vacations at less- known tourism spots is also a good way to save money. The prices of food and hotel stays are usually high at well-knowntourism spots. Popular tourism spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays.But at less-known ones, prices are much lower.
Less-known tourism spots can bring the feeling of freshness. Many visitors might not go to these less-known tourism spots before.Spending vacations there can help them enjoy scenery they haven't seen before. Some visitors are simply looking to take a rest somewhere quiet for a couple of days, which is a good way to vacation.
The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing. It means that visitors nowhave more choices,which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. And it can help people living in less-known tourism spots to earn more money. Also,it can help the well-known tourism spots to improve themselves. It is believed that reverse tourism will be even more popular in the near future.
