FAMOUS Tourist Attractions That No Longer Exist Because We've Destroyed Them

Tourism, as we understand it today, is a relatively recent phenomenon. Men of leisure and aristocrats have been to able to travel for recreation for millennia, but not often very far. And since the advent of steamships, people have been able to travel the world. But again, only the wealthy and not in large numbers. But now, with commercial air travel, tourism has become widespread and a major global industry. Recreational travel is no longer the purview of the upper classes and the fabulously wealthy. But it all comes with a cost on the enviroment

Um...the Yosemite Firefall segment....TOTALLY WRONG! There are some incidences of the "throwing hot coals" over the fall, but the REAL Firefall occurs naturally in February when the sun's angle is perfect to light up the water falling from Horsetail Falls, and makes the water appear to be on fire. Therefore, the "tourist" attraction of falling fire at Horsetail is not gone nor is it destroyed. Jeez, dude.

You could've warned us to buckle our seat-belts for the sudden stop at the end

How does the tourist park that closed because of lack of visitors make this list? Does poor management count?

You commited a mistake about Guaira Falls. All pictures showed in your video are from a different falls in the same area (Iguazu Falls). They're till there and today they are one of the most visit sites in Brazil.

I don't feel near as bad now, knowing my broke azz has never contributed to these problems... I can't even afford to pay attention! 😂

So religious fanatics destroy their own religion's holy sites? THAT should prove to people that they're not true followers...just saying they are to get support from true people of faith. This is why I hate it when people mix religion with their political views. They should be kept separate. You can argue politics but not religion. Everyone's faith is slightly different and that's their business not mine. Tolerance. Whatever happened to that religious lesson of tolerance?

They got destroyed because they were made into tourist attracts.

Barely anyone would notice them if they were not advertised as tourist attractions.

Demolishing the Original Penn Station was an architecture massacre

Very interesting but this guy's information on several items is very historically wrong

It’s saddening to think that we’ve ruined our own greatest treasures.

You missed the Buddhas of Bamyan in Afghanistan that were destroyed by Islamists.

One day this beautiful planet shall reclaim herself...

We? What you mean by we? I did not destroy anything

Sorry, but there has been snow at that Bolivian Ski Area virtually every year. However, one must remember that this peak is in the Atacama Andes (part of the Atacama Desert), which is the driest desert in the world. Some portions of the Atacama Desert have had zero precipitation in over 10, 000 years. So why not cut out the never-ending flood of bogus climate change lies.
