Intrepid Travel revealed its annual "Not Hot List," which identifies lesser-known destinations where tourism can have a significant impact on local communities. This year, the list highlights three destinations that deserve special attention for 2027: Alonnisos in Greece, Liepāja in Latvia, and Dalsland in Sweden.
Alonnisos is a Greek island that is part of the Sporades complex in the Aegean Sea. The island is known for its natural beauty and for being a tranquil retreat away from the mass tourism that affects other more well-known Greek islands.
Liepāja is a port city located on the western coast of Latvia, on the Baltic Sea. The city has been gradually gaining popularity among travelers seeking authentic experiences, combining rich history with a growing cultural scene.
Dalsland is a region in western Sweden, often ignored by tourists in favor of more popular Swedish destinations like Stockholm or Gothenburg. The region offers natural landscapes and a tranquil atmosphere that promises unique experiences for visitors. Intrepid Travel's list aims precisely to direct conscious travelers to these destinations, where their tourism spending can truly benefit local communities.
