If you're an avid traveler, you've probably come across a destination or two that claim to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Basically any time a country has something (a town, a building, a park) they think deserves money and cultural recognition, they lobby to have the title bestowed upon it. What happens after that is up to the country. Sometimes the tourism helps the site, and other times it just ruins it. At National Geographic Traveler (an often ignored, yet fabulous travel mag), they've ranked all 830 sites that now carry the name. And with that many going around saying they're a World Heritage Site, you know that some of them are just plain crap. Check out this site and make your own list of must-visit places to see before you kick the bucket.
