5 Most Overrated Travel Destinations in Asia

1. Bali, Indonesia

Insider Monkey Score: 10.83

It would not be inaccurate to say that Bali has fallen victim to its own success. The destination is famous for its azure waters, pristine coastlines, and beachfront bars, making it one of the most visited beach destinations in Asia. However, this charm began to evaporate once Bali became a tourist hot-spot. Currently, Bali sees swarms of tourists pop onto its beaches each year. Unfortunately, most of the beaches open to the public are overcrowded and littered with trash, whilst the private beaches are exclusive to those staying at high-end resorts. Moreover, Bali has also been the victim of massive deforestation in the last few decades, because of which the region has faced a significant loss in biodiversity and beauty.
