From the Isle of Skye to the insular jigsaw puzzle of Venice, some communities feel increasingly outgunned by tourists and the travel industry that supports them. Yet a far more common malaise is [undertourism](~/AAAHagA~/RgRoxmmpP4QJAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmluZGVwZW5kZW50LmNvLnVrL3RyYXZlbC9uZXdzLWFuZC1hZHZpY2Uvb3ZlcnRvdXJpc20taG9saWRheS1kZXN0aW5hdGlvbi1hbGJhbmlhLWN1YmEtbW9yb2Njby1iMjU3ODc1Mi5odG1sP2xpZD1xaXR2anhwbTJubzEmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWJyYXplJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1TaW1vbiBDYWxkZXIncyBUcmF2ZWwgV2VlayBOZXdzbGV0dGVyIDEzLTA5LTI0JnV0bV90ZXJtPUlORF9UcmF2ZWxfTmV3c2xldHRlcl9DRFBXBXNwY2V1Qgpmz6nk42YaUX7DUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~). The value of tourists is rarely appreciated. Besides bringing ourselves, our cases and our cameras, we visitors bring cash. We eat, drink, support local businesses and create jobs. And we also (trust me here) bring joy. Whether beside a postcard-perfect Mediterranean beach or exploring a new city, tourists radiate pleasure at our good fortune in just being there. The problem is: there are too few of us to go around the many parts of the world keen to share their sunshine, scenery, culture and cuisine. The European nation facing the biggest uphill struggle is [Albania](~/AAAHagA~/RgRoxmmpP0T9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvdHJhdmVsL2V1cm9wZS9hbGJhbmlhL2FsYmFuaWEtdG91cmlzdC1kZXN0aW5hdGlvbi1jaGVhcC1mbGlnaHRzLWIyNDgxODE5Lmh0bWw_bGlkPW4zNTkyNzV0M21zMSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YnJhemUmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPVNpbW9uIENhbGRlcidzIFRyYXZlbCBXZWVrIE5ld3NsZXR0ZXIgMTMtMDktMjQmdXRtX3Rlcm09SU5EX1RyYXZlbF9OZXdzbGV0dGVyX0NEUFcFc3BjZXVCCmbPqeTjZhpRfsNSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAADIw~~). For most of the second half of the 20th century, this Adriatic enclave did a pretty good impression of [North Korea](~/AAAHagA~/RgRoxmmpP0TuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvdHJhdmVsL25ld3MtYW5kLWFkdmljZS9ub3J0aC1rb3JlYS10b3VyaXNtLXJ1bGVzLWIyNTk3MjQ0Lmh0bWw_bGlkPW90bDljaHdqdWJ4YyZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YnJhemUmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPVNpbW9uIENhbGRlcidzIFRyYXZlbCBXZWVrIE5ld3NsZXR0ZXIgMTMtMDktMjQmdXRtX3Rlcm09SU5EX1RyYXZlbF9OZXdzbGV0dGVyX0NEUFcFc3BjZXVCCmbPqeTjZhpRfsNSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAADIw~~). Albania's dictator, Enver Hoxha, regarded the ideal number of tourists as close to zero. The need for hard currency meant a few had to be tolerated. But the degree of control that travellers endured might make even Kim Jong-Un blush. Serving alongside the frontier police at the border crossing from Yugoslavia were a barber and tailor. For men, long hair was banned, as were beards. The hirsute visitor could either submit to a haircut and shave or stay out, while the tailor sized up the cut of the tourists' clothes and made the necessary adjustments to rein in extravagant clothing such as flared trousers. You learn all about the secret history of Albanian tourism at a new attraction in the coastal city and main resort, Durres. The name, “Peeping Tourists Museum”, does not allude to impertinent behaviour on the part of visitors; it reflects the state’s attitude to travellers. “Not only citizens of Albania were under surveillance,” says co-founder and one-time student revolutionary Arjana Isaku. “Even the tourists were spied upon.” The museum includes an underground bunker with a capacity of 50. Hoxha was deeply paranoid as well as evil, and ordered thousands of shelters to be dug in case of an invasion by unspecified foes. It never happened. The bunker is a now a tourist attraction and the tourist persona grata.

The adventure operator has just announced what I shall call its off-the-chart chart: 10 worldwide locations where you are unlikely to be caught up in a swarm of other tourists (though you could find a group of Intrepid travellers as, coincidentally, the company runs trips to each of the chosen destinations). “We've just launched an expedition which is about exploring [Greenland](~/AAAHagA~/RgRoxmmpP4QDAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmluZGVwZW5kZW50LmNvLnVrL3RyYXZlbC9ldXJvcGUvaG93LWRvLXlvdS12aXNpdC1ncmVlbmxhbmQtbnV1ay1hcmN0aWMtYWR2ZW50dXJlLXRyYXZlbC1hNzIzNDQxNi5odG1sP2xpZD1zeW43aTFiOTd2cHAmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWJyYXplJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1TaW1vbiBDYWxkZXIncyBUcmF2ZWwgV2VlayBOZXdzbGV0dGVyIDEzLTA5LTI0JnV0bV90ZXJtPUlORF9UcmF2ZWxfTmV3c2xldHRlcl9DRFBXBXNwY2V1Qgpmz6nk42YaUX7DUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~) by land and also getting to some of the lesser-known spots like Disko Island,” Hazel says. (To avoid confusion I must point out that unlike, say, the Balearic isle of Ibiza, you will search in vain for a disco on Disko Island.) “At Intrepid we aim to connect travellers with local communities, to shed a light on what living in Greenland is like – a slightly different way of looking at a country. The Not Hot List is really seeking to say: how can we disperse those tourism dollars a little bit?” Among the communities waiting to welcome you are the people of Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan; Cape York, the northernmost point of the Australian continent; Sainshand in the Gobi Desert of [Mongolia](~/AAAHagA~/RgRoxmmpP0TtaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvbmV3cy9tb25nb2xpYS1hcC11bGFhbmJhYXRhci1jaGluYS1nZW5naGlzLWtoYW4tYjI1NzA0MDMuaHRtbD9saWQ9YzhkaXhrNm84NWJnJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1icmF6ZSZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249U2ltb24gQ2FsZGVyJ3MgVHJhdmVsIFdlZWsgTmV3c2xldHRlciAxMy0wOS0yNCZ1dG1fdGVybT1JTkRfVHJhdmVsX05ld3NsZXR0ZXJfQ0RQVwVzcGNldUIKZs-p5ONmGlF-w1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj); and Rupununi Savannah in the deep south of [Guyana](~/AAAHagA~/RgRoxmmpP4QAAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmluZGVwZW5kZW50LmNvLnVrL3RyYXZlbC9uZXdzLWFuZC1hZHZpY2UvZ3V5YW5hLWJyaXRpc2gtYWlyd2F5cy1mbGlnaHQtc291dGgtYW1lcmljYS1iMjE0MjQ2NC5odG1sP2xpZD1qdXdueDZnMWFpdTAmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWJyYXplJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1TaW1vbiBDYWxkZXIncyBUcmF2ZWwgV2VlayBOZXdzbGV0dGVyIDEzLTA5LTI0JnV0bV90ZXJtPUlORF9UcmF2ZWxfTmV3c2xldHRlcl9DRFBXBXNwY2V1Qgpmz6nk42YaUX7DUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~).

Where else can I go that is relatively warm and cheap for January/February?     Our decision to leave the EU was followed by the UK becoming a “third country” alongside Paraguay and East Timor. This status comes with a limit of spending no more than 90 days in any 180 days in the Schengen Area. The effect is: a British passport holder fortunate enough to be in Spain, Italy or Greece from the start of October would need to leave the winter sunshine just before New Year and could not return to anywhere in the zone until late March. Happily, warm and appealing alternatives start with an EU member state that is not in the Schengen Area: [Cyprus](~/AAAHagA~/RgRoxmmpP0TZaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvdHJhdmVsL2N5cHJ1cy10cmF2ZWwtZmFtaWx5LWIyNjA0NDg5Lmh0bWw_bGlkPTc3dmI4OXdtYWh6ZyZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YnJhemUmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPVNpbW9uIENhbGRlcidzIFRyYXZlbCBXZWVrIE5ld3NsZXR0ZXIgMTMtMDktMjQmdXRtX3Rlcm09SU5EX1RyYXZlbF9OZXdzbGV0dGVyX0NEUFcFc3BjZXVCCmbPqeTjZhpRfsNSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAADIw~~). The eastern Mediterranean island has some of the same rules as the Schengen Area, such as passports not being older than 10 years on the day of entry, and having at least three months remaining on the day of departure. But it has its own entirely independent 90/180 day allowance. So you could cheerfully and legally depart from Athens to Paphos or Larnaca on day 90 (30 December in my example) and stay there until 29 March. For economy, though, let me steer you towards North Africa.
