Haha I'm just curmudgeon, but it's mostly carbon footprint, personally. Additionally I'm also thinking exploitation of people in the global South by wealthy Northern tourists (those trips are where you get the most bang for your buck because of inequalities I find unpalatable). Then finally there's like the cultural aspect of rich(er) people vampiring off the rich cultures of poor(er) people as they "find themselves" or draw inspo for their next venture or whatever

So yeah a lot of personal hangups that keep it from being enjoyable.

PS For anyone who chooses to take offense to the above, if this doesn't describe you, then I'm not talking about you
