The travel industry is back with a boom following the pandemic. British citizens made over 71 million visits abroad in 2022.<\/p>\n

According to statistics from finder, two thirds of Britons were planning to holiday abroad in 2023. But while Spain and France are top of the destination list, there are a few hotspots that are far less visited.<\/p>\n

Several European hotspots including Monaco and Montenegro have many more tourists than residents, according to UNWTO figures.<\/p>\n

At the other end of the scale is Bangladesh. Although it had more than 320,000 overnight tourists in 2019, the South Asian country has a population of 169m.<\/p>\n

This ratio makes Bangladesh one of the least touristy countries on earth and travellers are unlikely to bump into many other foreign visitors on their trip.<\/p>\n
