6. Courbefy, France\r
An entire French resort village was abandoned due to economic hardship in new. Courbefy is located in the Limousin region of France toward the middle of the country, 30 miles south of the city of Limoges. The village was complete for stables, swimming pools, and tennis courts to attr tourists. The town is mostly made up of family houses and a town hall. It also sits near a 13th century castle, which adds historical interest to the area. When it was abandoned, the only tourists it attred were thieves and squatters who needed a place for shelter. The entire building was auctioned off to an American Korean photographer for about a half million Euros. Not too bad of a price considering this man owns a village now for about the price of a two story house. The photos still remain as an eery reminder about this abandoned resort. On google maps it appears as though not much is going on\r

5. Ryugyong, Pyongyang North Korea\r
The Ryugyong hotel is a pyramid shaped 105 story skyscraper in North Koreas capital, somewhat similar looking to the skyscraper in San Francisco. Its also known as building 105 because of the number of stories it has. The construction began in 1987 but as North Korea entered somewhat of an economical crisis, the project was halted.That openings were continually cancelled. The building remains unopened to the public or any tourist. In country a that struggles to maintain electricity through an entire day and feed their citizens properly, this seems like a massive waste of money. In this photo you can see the hotel. Although it appears as an interesting design, what use would it possibly serve where the tourism industry is virtually inexistent. Its remained off limits to tourists and shrouded in secrecy. \r

4. Salton Sea\r
Gallons of water were sent gushing into a dry lake bed after a storm caused an irrigation canal to flood and break. So the Salton Sea really shouldnt even exist in that sense. A resort town was built near this body of water. Many people once flocked here to soak up the sun, go jet skiing and drive fancy boats in the booming 50s and 60s. Not all good things last forever and this place quickly turned into an ecological nightmare due to pesticides and fertilizers from nearby farms. It became much too polluted to sustain life even for fish. The inhabitants quickly fled once the smell of the water became unbearable. To this day, dead fish litter the once popular beaches, leaving a rotten egg like smell that would be enough to scare off any urban explorer. \r

3. Costa Concordia\r
Not all abandoned resorts are on the land. In new, the luxury cruise ship called the Costa Concordia struck a rock near the island of Giglio Island, off the coast of Tuscany. This caused the ship to sink. Luckily a photographer by the name of Jonathan Kielkowski was able to take the photos of this eery abandoned resort cruise ship. This place seems like it may be haunted considering the f that 32 people died during the crash. At one point she was carrying a grand total of 4200 people. The cruise ship is now covered in bright green coral and blue coral as well as moss throughout. Rusting slot machines litter the ground and hundreds of pieces of debris remained untouched for years. \r

2 Gagra, Russia\r
Gagra is located along the Black sea and stretches 5 kilometers along the water. The subtropical climate made for a perfect location for Russians who wanted to escape the cold winters but with war in the area the town became quickly depopulated. In 1989 it had had a population of 26,636 but it was left as a lost paradise when hundreds of Georgian citizens were expelled from their homes and many were massacred, turning it into a complete ghost town. The war-torn land turned Ghagra from a beautiful tourist attrion to a grim dark place where many murders took place. Many still claim the land is still haunted to this day.\r

1. Palace Hotel, Croatia\r
In 1990s Croatia or Yugoslavia at that time had its own beautiful resorts and a luxurious resort was built on the island of Krk. Yugoslavia encouraged tourism from all around the world after the the soviet union had crumbled. It was a great place for Europeans of all countries to party, drink champagne, indulge in caviar. Here in this photo you see the deserted Palace Hotel Pool that was once a great gathering place for tourists. While the hotel catered to the extremely wealthy quite well, the middle class citizens didnt spend nearly as much as they were expecting, causing them to close their doors.
