Tourism in unusual places
- War-Torn Afghanistan Looks to Tourism for Economic Boost
- First Western tourists visit war-torn Iraq
- Tourists flock to Chernobyl radiation zone
It's a little strange to think of a place for which progress is represented with the statement that "by the end of October [2009], the major historical sites are expected to be landmine-free." (That said, I have been in areas in which going off-road would put you in landmine-filled areas).
Personally I'd like to go to all of the above at some point. Chernobyl right now, but I don't plan on either Iraq or Afghanistan for at least a few more years until they've had the opportunity to quiet down further.
