13. Afghanistan: 13,300 tourists
This country’s placement on this list probably isn’t much of a shock, as with terrorist attacks, continuous bombings, and the stamp of being the home of the Taliban, tourists tend to stay clear. Still, about 13,300 visitors make the trip to the troubled destination annually.
14. Guinea-Bissau: 7,500 tourists
Not to be mistaken with Guinea, Guinea-Bissau is one of the poorest countries in all of Africa and has about 7,500 people visiting each year. If their history of civil war, huge foreign debt, and an economy that is heavily reliant of foreign aid wasn’t enough, the Ebola outbreak didn’t make things better, and travelers were advised against making trips there. Those that do so anyway, witness a place painted with incredible landscapes, wildlife freely roaming, and intricate Portuguese architecture in Bissau.
15. Nauru: 160 tourists
The least visited country on this list, Nauru only gets approximately 160 tourists each year (have you even heard of it?). Those intrigued by WWII history are welcome to discover the last vestiges of Japanese occupation on the small island, and view the impressive skeletal remains of its mining infrastructure.
