Emily Hart a traveler who has toured all 50 states of United States, shared his list of the five worst to visit, sparking intense debate online.
Here we present them to you:
1. Oklahoma
Hart describes Oklahoma as a state lacking significant tourist attractions. Although it has some natural and cultural areas, the traveler considers that it does not offer memorable experiences for tourists.
The lack of adequate tourist infrastructure and the poor promotion of its destinations contribute to its negative perception. Furthermore, the cultural and gastronomic diversity that might be expected is not enough to compensate for what she considers an overall unappealing experience.
2. North Dakota
North Dakota is recognized for its stunning natural beauty, including Theodore Roosevelt National Park. However, Hart argues that nature in the state is very dispersed, which can make it difficult for visitors to access and explore.
The lack of large cities and concentrated tourist attractions can leave tourists feeling isolated and without many entertainment options.
3.Kansas
Kansas, famous for its vast plains and rural landscape, ranks third on Hart's list.
She mentions that the plains are not to her personal liking and that, despite having its own beauty, the state lacks the diversity of attractions that usually attract tourists.
Although there are attractions, such as the Flint Plains National Monument, Hart feels they are not enough to make Kansas an attractive destination.
4.Arkansas
Arkansas is also known for its natural beauty, including the Ouachita Mountains and Hot Springs National Park. However, Hart criticizes the state's lack of recreational activities and tourism promotion.
Although it offers opportunities for hiking and exploration of nature, the traveler considers that there are not enough options to maintain the interest of tourists during a prolonged visit.
5. West Virginia
Despite its stunning mountain scenery and rich history, West Virginia is noted by travelers as a state that presents challenges for visitors.
Poor infrastructure and lack of adequate tourism services can hinder travelers' experience. Although the state has areas of natural beauty, such as New River Gorge National Park, she suggests that the overall experience may not be satisfactory due to these issues.
Emily Hart's list has sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting her opinions and others defending the cultural and natural wealth of these states.
Its focus on safety and accessibility has resonated with many travelers seeking positive and memorable experiences.
