Introduction "Doomsday tourism" was first proposed by Americans. In this new way, they felt the dangers facing the earth. They were the first to go to Alaska, Patagonia, the melting icebergs of the Arctic and Antarctic, and the sinking islands in the Pacific.

and the disappearing Great Barrier Reef, calling this type of tourism “doomsday tourism.”

Later, British tourists also joined the ranks of visiting these sights.

Shapiro said this phenomenon is the most significant trend in the tourism industry in recent years.

The ‘Doomsday Tour’ has received responses from many people in the tourism industry.

Many people choose travel destinations based on the level of danger they face in their surroundings.

Recently, travel enthusiasts in Guangdong, China, have also joined the doomsday tourism community, setting off a trend of doomsday tourism, hoping to see "extinction" at a glance.

Reasons: The widespread concern about "global warming" has caused many European and American tourists to turn their attention to endangered landscapes such as the melting Arctic and Antarctic glaciers and Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

From the tropics to polar glaciers.

QuarkExpeditions, the leading travel agency in Antarctic and Antarctic tourism, currently plans to double its bipolar tour business in 2008.

Data from travel agencies show that more and more tourists are requesting to see the receding glaciers in Patagonia in South America, the disappearing Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the dwindling number of Maldives islands.

The reason for the disappearance is the subsidence of the ground and the rise of sea levels. Some scientists have speculated that the polar ice caps may melt rapidly, which has also attracted a large number of tourists to visit the area.

Last year, 37,000 people visited Antarctica, twice as many as five years ago, of which one-third came from the United States and one-seventh from the United Kingdom.

Also affected by global warming, the Indian Ocean island country Maldives, known as "the last wonderland on earth", will be submerged within 50 years as sea levels rise. The imminent disappearance of the Maldives has triggered people to visit before the Maldives sinks.

Pay homage to the doomsday tourism trend.

The landscape is about to disappear due to man-made destruction. Rather than saying that climate warming and rising sea levels are causing the landscape to disappear, it is better to say that human destruction of the environment is causing the landscape to disappear.

And other direct man-made destruction will also cause many landscapes to disappear from our sight.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef, a marine life paradise where tourists often go to swim and dive, is the largest coral reef group in the world. It has more than 350 types of corals of various shapes and colors, and has given birth to more than 40,000 butterfly fish, angel fish, sea cucumbers, starfish, etc.

There are more than 240 species of birds inhabiting the area.

And it is also among the beauties that are about to disappear.

In recent years, human over-exploitation, fish rounding and serious marine pollution have caused drastic changes in the ecological environment.

The jazz corals on the Great Barrier Reef will also gradually bleach and die as a result.

If nothing is done to save it, these creatures and beautiful scenery will not be spared in the next 10 years.

Known as the "Lungs of the Earth" and the "Biological Paradise", the Amazon rainforest is home to more than half of the species of wild animals and plants on the planet and produces 40% of the total oxygen on the planet.

This is a paradise for many scientists and adventurers, and it may be one of your planned future adventures.

In the past century, due to human indiscriminate cultivation, deforestation, over-exploitation and forest fires, tropical rainforests are disappearing rapidly.

In addition, some scenic spots such as Machu Picchu in Peru, the Luxor Temple in Egypt, and the Lascaux Caves in France have also written disappearing memos one after another.

[Edit this paragraph] "Doomsday Tour" The stunning beauty may disappear from the earth. The Pearl of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives. In the Indian Ocean, there are 1,192 coral reef islands scattered among them, forming a beautiful shape like a garland - this is the Maldives, and its name is Indy.

Literally meaning "garland", the Maldives has created a unique tropical style with white sandy beaches, clear oceans, and colorful coral reefs. The ever-changing underwater scenery has attracted many diving enthusiasts and won the title of "the last wonderland on earth."

reputation.

Maldives sinks into a century-old countdown to the "Paradise on Earth" Blue Nightmare. Viewed from a high altitude, the Maldives is worthy of being a string of pearls in the Indian Ocean: 1,190 green islands are embedded in the blue sea, as dazzling as pearls. No wonder this place is called "the paradise on earth"

Heaven".

However, a cruel fact is that the beautiful scenery of the Maldives is all located at low altitudes. The national average height is only 1.5 meters above the sea, and 80% of the country is no higher than 1 meter.

If the United Nations’ calculations of the rate of sea level rise due to global warming are accurate, these islands will be swallowed up one by one by the sea within a century at the earliest.

The reason for its disappearance is man-made over-exploitation [1] [2] The Maldives are not the driving force behind global warming, but they are the first "villagers" in the global village to suffer the consequences.

When talking about the climate summit to be held in Copenhagen in December, most Maldivian residents expressed optimism, especially placing unlimited hopes on China's role.

The Copenhagen summit may be the last chance to save this "paradise".

"Doomsday travel" has become a new favorite in tourism abroad. "If you love her, take her to the Maldives." An Internet buzzword makes people imagine the beauty of the Maldives.

The Maldives, which is gradually submerging under the sea, makes its people extremely worried.

I'm afraid that when we want to take a look again, we will also feel that the people created by the vicissitudes of life are right and wrong.

Hurry up and visit the precious natural landscape before it disappears. The Maldives has gradually become the primary destination in the minds of many tourists.
