Honeypot (tourism)

In geography, a honeypot is a particularly popular place which attracts tourists in large numbers. Visitor attraction within a managed tourist area, and as a result the place is under threat of environmental damage which would diminish its attraction as a tourist destination. Examples in the United Kingdom include Bowness-on-Windermere in the Lake District, Bakewell in Derbyshire, Swanage in Dorset, Lulworth Cove, Dorset, Studland Heath, Dorset Box Hill on the North Downs of Surrey, Castleton in the Peak District and Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales. Larger honeypots outside of the U.K. include the Grand Canyon, Yosemite Valley, and the Great Pyramid in Egypt.

Honeypot sites are often encouraged because they do not concentrate on the damage caused by tourists on small sites, making conservation easier in other parts of the managed area. Honeypots can suffer from overcrowding problems including litter, strain on facilities and transport networks, crime and erosion, but are often promoted in order to reduce these problems in other areas. The term originates from bees buzzing around a hive.
