7. Turkmenistan
The tourist flow to this Asian country has never been active, but forDuring the reign of Saparmurat Niyazov, he completely ran dry. Surprisingly, it is quite difficult to get a Turkmen visa. Although in recent years the government of Turkmenistan has been focusing on the development of tourism, but so far only in the domestic market.
6. Somalia
For the year with tourist purposes, the country is visited by no more than 500 people. What is not surprising - Somali pirates are famous all over the world. The disorder that reigns in Somalia does not help attract tourists. Although the coast of the country could well be used with the funds to create the appropriate infrastructure.
5. Marshall Islands
Twenty-three tests were conducted at a nearby nuclear test site, which clearly spoiled the radiation level in the region. The absence of tourists contributes to the remoteness of the islands from transport routes. Although the archipelago itself seemed to have come down from an advertising postcard - there are exciting coral reefs, picturesque coves, and lush vegetation.
4. Moldova
The poorest state in Europe is trying to increase its attractiveness in the eyes of tourists, but so far unsuccessfully. In addition to the reserve of Old Orhei with the ruins of settlements of the XIV-XV centuries, there are no sights on the territory of the country, in addition, there is absolutely no infrastructure.
3. Nauru
The dwarf state, located on the coral island of the same name, has an area of just over 21 square kilometers. A year the country is visited by no more than 200 tourists. Nauru does not even have a capital, which makes the republic completely unique. There are no rivers on the island, the vegetation is quite scarce, and the beaches do not strike with beauty.
2. Kiribati
The country is fragmented into several small islands in the Pacific Ocean. The archipelago is removed from the main transport routes, so tourists bypass it. Although one feature of Kiribati clearly deserves attention - thanks to the location at the line of change dates, local residents are the first on the planet to meet Christmas and New Year.
1. Tuvalu
This Polynesian island state is located not far from Fiji. The main reason for the unpopularity of this beautiful island is its remoteness. Although Tuvalu looks like a real paradise with attractive beaches and a wonderful climate. That's only the cost of a flight to the island is comparable with several days of stay in the most fashionable resort of neighboring Fiji.
