Remote tourist locations are areas of tourist attraction that are not easily accessible. This may be due to physical or climatic factors such as relief (highlands, lowlands), drainage (water bodies) or due to extreme temperatures ( freezing conditions or extremely hot places). Examples of remote tourist destinations include Antarctica and other undersea destinations ( eg. Mariana Trench).

In recent times, there has been an increase in the number of tourists visiting remote destinations. This may be due to the following factors: • internet tourist websites have raised awareness of remote locations where visitors can now go, such as Antarctica • improved accessibility to remote Pacific islands has been helped by improvements in cruise ship designs • rising incomes in developed countries means people have the funds for “the trip of a lifetime”, such as Europeans traveling to see South America • rising incomes in emerging economies means more people have the funds for “the trip of a lifetime”, such as Chinese visitors to Europe • over-development of some tourist areas has led to a desire to visit less crowded, more remote, areas such as The Maldives.
