Business Insider magazine has listed the most attractive and dangerous tourist destinations in the world.
 |
New Smyrna Beach, USA:New Smyrna Beach in Florida is considered the “shark capital of the world,” with about 250 shark attacks recorded there. The area is home to bull sharks, which often mistake bathers for food. Despite this, New Smyrna Beach attracts a large number of tourists each year. If you want to play it safe, the Islander Beach resort, with its condo-style rooms and oceanfront pool, is a good choice. |

| Half Dome, USA:One of the longest and most dangerous hikes in Yosemite National Park is the Half Dome climb. Climbers rely on metal cables to reach the top of the mountain, and it takes them all day to reach the top. During the climb, visitors can slip off the cables or fall from the rocks. To date, more than 60 people have died trying to reach the top of Half Dome, including lightning strikes, heart attacks, and failed parachute jumps. |
 |
| Cliffs of Moher, Ireland:Located on the Atlantic coast, the Cliffs of Moher attract around 1 million visitors each year. But they are also one of the most dangerous tourist destinations in the world, with many people dying from falls from the cliffs. Causes of death include the steep terrain, lack of guardrails, and strong winds and rain. |
 |
| Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii:Of the three active volcanoes in Hawaii, the most dangerous is Kilauea on the Big Island. Lava from this volcano in 2014 threatened the lives of people in the town of Pahoa. A few centuries ago, more than 400 people were swallowed by the lava. The death rate from volcanoes in Hawaii is about 40 cases per decade. |
 |
| Colorado River, USA:The Colorado River is 1,400 miles (2,333 km) long, flowing through Colorado, California, Utah, Nevada and Arizona, as well as the famous Grand Canyon. However, the water can be dangerous, especially after heavy rains and snowmelt. At least 14 people have died along the Colorado River in the first seven months of 2014. Drownings are often caused by strong currents or a lack of safety equipment while boating or swimming in the river. |
 |
| Mount Blanc, France:Mont Blanc (White Mountain) is the highest peak in the Alps, rising nearly 4,900 meters above sea level. It is also one of the most dangerous peaks in the world, with about 100 deaths each year. Despite the dangers, the mountain attracts more than 30,000 climbers each year. Causes of death on the summit of Mont Blanc include weather, avalanches, and lack of experience. |
