And obviously, such places do exist. The United Nations World Tourism Organization lately reported the four least-visited countries globally. Montserrat (9,000) Once a popular holiday spot, this Lesser Antilles island has never quite recovered from a series of natural disasters. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 hit 90 per cent of the island and in 1995 the Soufriere Hills volcano erupted. These days, its volcano is now actually one of Montserrat’s main attractions, along with its beautiful beaches. Visitors can also go diving in its clear waters. Comoros (24,000) This collection of islands in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar serves as the perfect destination for those who want to get away from everyday city life. Comoros offers beautiful volcanic scenery, fruitful forests, and remote sleepy towns. There are even some of the best undiscovered reefs (礁) just waiting to be explored by divers. Liechtenstein (69,000) The sixth smallest country in the world is also one of the most undiscovered. Lying between Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein is an outdoor enthusiast’s playground. It’s the only country in the world to be totally in the Alps and a summer destination for hiking and cycling and snow-covered skiing perfection in winter, for those who can afford it. French Guiana (199,000) French Guiana is the least-visited country in South America, with some of the world’s most diverse plant and animal life. While there is much to attract tourists to the area, not least its miles of jungle, the infrastructure (基础设施) is in need of some attention. 1. What do Montserrat and Comoros have in common? A. They have thick forests. B. They have recovered from natural disasters.
