Tourist Destinations You Should Visit Which Can Disappear Due to Climate Change

[NOVEMBER FREE REPORT]

Because of climate change's relentless altering of landscapes and destruction of tourist destinations all over the world, it's just a matter of time until travel websites post a doomsday countdown timer next to their holiday packages.

The plurality of these areas are badly threatened by rising sea levels, which threaten to wipe out large parts of land. Simultaneously, severe habitat loss depletes other areas' magnificent focal points.

Here are four of the world-renowned, magnificent tourist hotspots which might be forever lost to climate  change:-

Mumbai, India
Everyone knows Mumbai, the magnificent coastal city with star-studded beaches and more bling than you can handle in a lifetime. Rising sea levels, along with an increase in the frequency of floods and cyclones, might threaten to convert the City of Dreams into the City of Drowns, burying most of the state's tourist attractions. The famed Marine Drive, the Gateway of India, Mohammed Ali Road (which lights up with vim during Ramadan), and Breach Candy are just a few of the locations we stand to lose.

New York's Statue of Liberty, USA
The growing frequency of tropical cyclones in the New York Bay area means storm surges that might seriously damage the renowned landmark. Furthermore, sea levels rising four times faster on this coast than on the remainder of the US coastline, making sea erosion of its foundation a real possibility. We can only put so much money into repairs before we have to transfer her somewhere safer.

Venice, Italy
Venice has become one of the most synchronised cities with romance. Where else would you anticipate enjoying a romantic gondola ride over a city's canals while being serenaded by a singer of sweet Italian songs?

You'd be hard pressed to concentrate on the city's romantics if you understood how it suffered behind its enthralling facade. Many of its structures are sinking as a result of climate change and rising sea levels. Only two years ago, more than 80% of the city was submerged – an occurrence that will only grow more regular as sea levels rise globally. According to several projections, the city might be submerged by our oceans as early as 2100.

The Republic of the Maldives
The Maldives are a romantic getaway that should not be missed, much like Venice. And the same issues that beset our Italian town impact this group of low-lying Indian Ocean islands.

The Maldives has long been the ideal honeymoon resort for wealthy couples. It is made up of 1200 white-sand islands that are dispersed over the Indian Ocean like gold coins. Its warm azure oceans, coconut trees, and gleaming coral reefs are nature's paradisiacal antidote to the country's five-star-and-above, no-finger-lifting resorts.

According to the World Bank, increasing sea levels might drown the whole country by 2100, while global warming could render 80% of the land uninhabitable.
