As a flood of news headlines highlighting overtourism, it's easy to think that the planet is simply full. But away from the well-worn tourist trails, you'll discover another travel story entirely different. In much of the world, there are places that are eager to welcome tourists. Based on the most recent data by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), in 2017, nearly 87 million international tourists arrived in France; yet mere 2,000 international tourists visited the South Pacific country of Tuvalu, where it's easy to find a beach -- or even an entire island -- to yourself. The same data reflect many of the world's least-visited countries and territories, where you'll find gorgeous natural beauty, culture and history without pushing through bunches of selfie sticks. Imagine lounging on Sierra Leone beaches, exploring Liechtenstein's mountaintop castles or shipwreck diving in the South Pacific! How rewarding it can be to leave the popular sites behind. If you can't picture a week in Kiribati or imagine the flavor of Timor Leste's traditional cuisine, it's OK. By spinning the globe and booking a flight to a country you know little about, you'll infuse the journey with a sense of wonder. That, after all, is what travel is for.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文中如何描述「熱門景點」與「冷門國家」的氛圍差異。既然作者認為在人煙稀少的地方更能找回「旅行的意義」與「驚奇感」，那麼他最希望讀者去嘗試什麼樣的行程呢？

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳！
- 觀念驗證：你正確捕捉到了文章的核心對比。作者先提到「過度旅遊」(overtourism) 的問題，隨即將焦點轉向那些遊客稀少的國家（如吐瓦魯、吉里巴斯）。文中明確提到「離開熱門景點是多麼有回報」(leave the popular sites behind) 以及「預訂前往冷門國家的航班」，這都清楚展現了作者鼓勵探索非主流旅遊地的立場。
- 難度點評：本題難度為 Medium。這是一道典型的「作者意圖題」，考驗學生是否能從具體例子（如國名、沙灘、城堡）中歸納出高層次的核心主旨，而非被片面的細節所干擾。
