# Tenerife, Lanzarote, Italy and France Areas Added to 'No Travel List'
The Canary Islands, along with certain regions in Italy and France, have been designated as "no travel" locations for the year 2026. This significant announcement highlights growing concerns over environmental preservation and visitor impacts in these popular destinations.
The decision affects several areas known for their natural beauty and distinct ecosystems. The measures aim to protect fragile environments that are increasingly threatened by tourism and climate change. Jessica O'Reilly, an associate professor of anthropology at Indiana University, remarked on the situation: "The environment is fragile, and it's a rare environment."
Authorities have taken these steps to ensure that these sensitive locations do not suffer irreversible damage from unchecked visitor numbers. The designation opens discussions on responsible tourism and the future management of travel to these regions. Visitors planning trips to these areas in 2026 will be affected by this travel advisory.
