Getting burned by boiling hot springs, trekking across slippery glacier ice, jumping from balcony to balcony: Some tourists seem to have left their brains at home when packing their luggage. Popular travel destinations are so worried about the behaviour of reckless tourists that they’re taking measures to prevent injuries.

Cinque Terre, a string of five seaside villages on the Italian Riviera, has banned wearing bathing slippers on coastal paths, with a penalty of up to €2,500 (RM11,590), though nobody has had to pay yet.
