Let’s consider poisonous animals and plants, the threat of contracting incurable diseases, and become victims of gangs. What else can make tourists refuse to visit some forbidden places? An experience has shown that even a high probability of losing life isn’t able to stop some of the tourists on the way to the unexplored attractions. There are many beautiful and interesting places that are risky for a number of reasons. Sometimes, they are prohibited to visit. Those are not high security facilities, but places, in which an inexperienced person can become a victim of unfortunate circumstances and die. Whatever the arguments would be adduced by scientists and officials, there are still people willing to take a walk on the islands teeming with poisonous snakes, and abandoned buildings that are ready to collapse at any moment.
