The tomb world of Desolas has been voted as the galaxy’s best destination for 2254 by TripInformant.
The travel guide aggregated responses from thousands of xenos who ranked holiday destinations based on accommodation, quality of food and drink, ease of travel and overall survivability.
Desolas was lauded for its “outstandingly beautiful” irradiated wastelands, “breath-taking” atmospheric toxins and “wonderfully diverse” ecosystem of grossly mutated and deeply disturbed flora and fauna.
The planet was designated a resort world two months ago after falling under the jurisdiction of the Kilik Cooperative, and a mere ten years since the planet’s now extinct original inhabitants destroyed themselves in a nuclear war.
The ravaged planet has since become an unstoppable tourism magnet, irradiating or maiming almost 2.3 million visitors last month alone.
TripInformant’s official guide describes: “Complete societal collapse and critical biosphere degradation may have dominated headlines in recent years, but one constant Desolas has seen since the burndown has been its timeless appeal to tourists: whether it’s staying in the crumbling remnants of a luxury hotel turned mass grave, to sampling the delicacies of the quaint and quirky cannibal farms of the badlands, there’s really something for everyone with a fully-functioning immune system here.”
Desolas beat out stiff competition from a number of other well established tourist hot-spots, including last year’s top destination, Saiiban Prime of the Saiiban Hive Mind. Other famous destinations failed to perform as expected, with the Tebrid Homolog’s Processing Hub 1 falling out of the rankings due to a limited response from any organics who visit there.

Surviving visitors have been extremely positive about their experiences on Desolas.
Erik Blort, a Blorg from St. Knatchbull, told Xenonion: “It was so nice to see the rustic authenticity of brutally twisted and warped urban ruins, mixed in with the modern convenience of a two day supply of food rations and water purification tablets. We also spent some time by the shore - my wife and I spent many enjoyable hours tending to our burns from toxic kelp reef snorkeling.”
Becky Gellert, a human from Earth, added: “Oh my goodness, what a holiday! My absolute highlight was getting to pet those giant irradiated cockroaches. They were so cute, I’m just sad I ran out of fingers to boop their adorable little snoots.”
The shortlist for TripInformant’s Top 10 Penal Colony Winter Holiday Destinations is expected later this month.
