Traveling is an amazing way to explore new places and immerse yourself in different cultures. But unfortunately, not everyone shares this mindset.

Certain tourists leave a trail of ignorance and entitlement wherever they go, from littering beautiful landscapes to behaving inappropriately at sacred sites.

Below, we’ve gathered some of the most shocking examples of this behavior. Scroll down to see for yourself, and don’t miss our chat with travel writer Pati on how we can all be more mindful when exploring the world.

Tourist Stands In Front Of "You May Be Bitten" Sign. She Makes Sure The Sign Was Worth Putting Up

Tourist Stands In Front Of "You May Be Bitten" Sign. She Makes Sure The Sign Was Worth Putting Up

SmackedWithARuler Report

Traveling, as wonderful and eye-opening as it is, can sometimes come at a cost to local communities. That doesn’t mean we should stop exploring the world, but it’s a sad truth that some tourists are careless, ignoring rules, customs, and even the environment.

Take Iceland, for example, where concentrated tourism in certain areas is causing damage to its natural landscape. Or consider overcrowded cities like Venice and Dubrovnik. In April of last year, residents of the Canary Islands took to the streets with banners reading, “Tourist: respect my land!” as 13.9 million people visited the seven main islands in 2023 alone. This sentiment has been echoed in protests across other popular European destinations like Barcelona, Athens, and Málaga.

It's Sad That People Like This Still Exist

A Chinese man kicked a deer like a soccer ball, so I immediately started filming. They kept making excuses and the woman that was with him started acting like the victim and got angry, so I chased them out of Nara Park. What did you come to Japan to do? I really won't forgive anyone who abuses animals.

To learn more about how we can be more responsible travelers, Bored Panda spoke with Pati, author of the blog One Way Ticket To Anywhere.

“I still remember how puzzled I was many years ago when I first saw travelers visiting Spain, a country rich in culture and cuisine, choosing to eat at pubs and lie by the pool at all-inclusive hotels,” Pati recalls. “Since then, I’ve visited many countries, and I’m still surprised by how tourists sometimes behave.”

If she is wearing leggings and her top doesn't cover her rear, it is gym wear. If her top covers her rear it can be worn for chores and errands. This is in no way appropriate for wearing to a sacred site.

Shame on you ! 20y ago we tripped to Germany, Bayern more precisely. First thing we visited was the Dachau camp. We did because we thought it was important as educated adults (furthermore my wife studied modern history). We went out ot the gas chamber crying, overwhelmed by the emotion. Than we met a group of american students, thinking they were travelling to Disneyland. I remember entering in Gunnery Sgt Hartman mode ...

“Recently, I traveled to Southeast Asia, and although it should be obvious to mindful travelers who have done a little research that the society in many regions of that continent is quite modest, many people, more often than not, unconsciously disrespect the culture by the way they dress or behave,” Pati says.

“But this often comes down to not being informed,” she explains. “We see some great photos of Thai or Indonesian islands or Malaysian colonial cities, see photos of the beaches, and we pack the shorts and off we go. We don’t know that we shouldn’t disrespect the king, that we should take off our shoes before entering a room, or cover our heads before entering a temple.”

Sometimes, advice on how to navigate local customs isn’t easy to find. It’s something that travel influencers or agencies rarely talk about. “This needs to change!” Pati insists. “But the issue is, as always, a bit more complex.”

“In today’s fast-paced world, travel is often seen as an escape—an escape from reality, from long working hours, far away from those who might judge our choices,” she continues. “This mindset can lead tourists to behave less respectfully. They feel they’ve earned this time off and want to do as they please.”

For many locals, the issue isn’t just about disrespectful behavior, but about the sheer volume of tourists and the lack of benefits to the community.

Sebastian Zenker, an expert in overtourism and academic director at Copenhagen Business School, explains, “If you look at the Canary Islands, I've read that a third of the population live on the edge of poverty. Tourism offers a big income to these islands—but for whom? It's not enough to say that we want to welcome well-behaved tourists who are quiet and spend more money, it's about where the money goes. At the moment, a large proportion of the population does not benefit.”

He suggests that if locals see a direct benefit, such as improved infrastructure or better living conditions, there could be a healthy coexistence between tourists and residents.

Tourists Climb Around 7-Foot-Tall Fences To Get The Perfect Selfie. This Was Taken In The Grampians National Park In Australia

Rangers had built 7-foot-tall fences with massive pictorial signs telling people to stick to the paths. These goons just went further back up the path and hiked through vegetation areas to get a selfie. These ledges are 50+ meters in the air, a decent slip, and it is lights out (it was drizzling rain too). Really grinds my gears, as once the problem becomes too big, the Rangers will just shut down the trail. They don't have the resources to properly enforce laws.

There Is A Certain Pretentious Group Of People That Treat Thailand Badly. They Look Down Upon Thai People, Treat Them With Utter Disrespect And Are Just Generally Rude And Entitled

Tonight I witnessed it firsthand when at a restaurant near a beach, these people felt they could just throw rubbish and spit on the floor right next to their table in front of other customers and staff. I asked the young waitress what she thought of it, she said it happens every night and they never ask for a bin or ashtray. They never apologize or tip. They have zero manners or consideration for others. I know there are a few "types" of people that come to mind after you read this, but I bet the real one is at the top of your list. I love this country and its people. Hate to see them treated like this.

Tourists come here and do this all the time, came here for one day, made a mess and left. I live here and am at the beach all summer with my family. And not to mention all the other trash and dog poop left behind.

I've heard people say they're just creating seaglass for others to enjoy. FYI; seaglass takes 20-40 years to become "seaglass". In some cases/areas, it takes 100-200 years. Meanwhile, it just tears up other people's feet.

Just a tip for everyone going to Japan: Keep a plastic bag in your bag where you can store your trash until you come across a trash can. They are a bit further between than in some other countries. Btw a drinks vending machines always have trash cans next to them by law so look for one of those and get an iced tea while you're at it.

Fortunately, Central Europe is not an American dramedy, where there are always white, black, Asian, Native American, disabled, gay and lesbian characters. Here, people are who they are. Here we welcome everyone who behaves in a civilised way. You should realize that the world's population composition is not necessarily the same as that of Los Angeles. It would be ridiculous to go to Sudan and be baffled as to why everyone is black.

What I don't get is why they would ask a relatively poor population to fund their expensive trip, they should work for free and give money to the poor instead.

I will pay you 50 quid for a WEEK for a room with homecooked breakfast , right , hotels that offer that service go for 150/200 quid per night in the center of London if you are willing to share your bathroom.

again, this might not have been tourists. Thailand, as a couple of other countries in South-East Asia are among the worst polluters of our oceans with plastic trash, and most of them come from the rivers.

I am concerned that the review was written in May, which is a long time after NYE and too early for 4th July. Perhaps not a real review?

Review Of A High-End Beach Town In Southern California

Review Of A High-End Beach Town In Southern California

I don’t even really like the restaurant that they are reviewing that much. The food is fine and I’ll go there in the off-season once in a while, it’s just kind of a tourist trap and very busy. But it's obviously the restaurant's fault for the storm and power outage with no generator, according to this person.

Even in a home fridge, the food stays good for a couple of hours and more than 24hrs in the freezer if the doors are kept closed. The numbers for industrial units are larger of course. But the important thing is not to let the cold air escape

Maybe the OP is in the wrong here. People are allowed to walk where they want, and the person in this picture is clearly within their rights as they are behind the rope barrier. Just because OP has a camera doesn't mean they're entitled to block the whole area for a photo.
