tourist hotspots
Must-see travel destinations
Tourist hotspots are places that attract large numbers of visitors—famous landmarks, scenic areas, or cultural destinations that appear on every traveler's itinerary.
The term often carries a note of ambivalence: these places are popular for good reason, but their popularity brings crowds, high prices, and a certain loss of authenticity.
