When I first read this article I thought it was a list of OVERBOOKED places, not realizing that for each OVERBOOKED place they offered an OVERLOOKED alternative. I have listed the places in the article below. A group in Venice came up with the term Detourism - a movement that urges visitors to avoid beaten-to-a-pulp routes and to behave like a local. I like that term!
