World’s Most Dangerous Travel Destinations Revealed

ADVERTISEMENT

Are you planning your next vacation? Then better check this map by International SOS and Control Risks to see if you’ll come back alive. Zika virus and terrorism made 72 percent of people believe that travel risks are higher in 2017 compared to 2016. In addition, 57 percent expect 2018 to be even more dangerous.

The map was released together with Ipsos Mori survey, that provides insights about travelers’ experiences around the globe. While potential terror attacks are the main concerns (51 percent), in reality, the biggest harm comes from petty crime and poor road safety.

According to this year’s research, the most dangerous countries are Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Darfur, Somalia, South Sudan, as well as Timbuktu and Kidal regions in Mali. On the flip side, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Switzerland, and Slovenia are thought to be the safest. Main criteria for rating a country’s danger level were its government’s exercised control and the threat of various kinds of violence to travelers.

    Is it joke??? Poland or Slovakia are more dangerous than France or Belgium?!?! Haha are you kidding? LOL, please tell me about 1 (ONE!!!) terrorist attack in Poland/Slovakia. Our countries are most safest in whole world but of course your political correctness doesn't allow you to tell the truth. Believe me you have a 10 times greater chance to be robbed in France, Germany, Belgium, Holland than in Poland. United States safer than my country XDDDDDD LOL. Nice try lefties.

    Terrorist attacks hardly define danger in a country. More people die from walking through a red traffic light on a daily basis, than people die from terrorist attacks. I get the feeling this list is made with attention to diseases and health care, otherwise Venezuela would light up a very bright red since it is home to the most dangerous cities in the world.

    I'd take this picture with a grain of salt. I can imagine that people do _report_ more rapes in Sweden though, than for example in UAE. I think they are also more informed about their rights and what is considered rape, what probably makes the numbers higher.

    I have been to Greenland last summer - and yes believe me that there are billions of mosquitos. You have to cover your entire body and wear a face net - day or night. They may not carry malaria now, but, scientists are saying if global warming continues it may offer a habitat hospitable enough to allow mosquitos with malaria to breed.

    Well, first of all, note that the map shows "Medical Risk" by default. Neither rape or murder is concidered medical task, I believe. And we all know our healthcare system here in Poland doesn't work well. Just pick "Travel Security Risk" and you'll see that most European countries are on the same of level of risk (low). Secondly, Sweden has higher rape statistics because of their extended definition of "rape" (in Poland it would be "sexual assault", not "rape") and because of high detection level of such crime. Please note that we have a very low rape detection rates in Poland. It's believed that around 95% of rape cases never make it to police. 1 on 5 Polish women have experienced rape. Your statistics show not that there are nearly no rapes in Poland, but that they are not detected at all. Really nothing to be proud of.

    This has to be a joke, places like Laos, They rate it "high"i lived there for 12 years, it's not high risk. I have been to quite a few of the red places too, ok some of them are but the overall ratings seem quite inaccurate to me. Europe seems to be getting a more dangerous place too.

    USA, UK, France, Germany, Belgium and most of Western Europe should be HIGH RISK. So should South Africa. China is relatively safe when compared to the above countries. Sri Lanka is now the safest country after the conclusion of the war in 2009. They have the best trained security and counter terrorist units in the world.

    US, UK, Germany, France and most of Western Europe should be in the High risk area. So should South Africa for different reasons. On the other hand China is relatively safer than all of the above countries. Sri Lanka is now probably the safest. This compilation is a typical western perspective / propaganda with absolutely no basis.

    According to who? US is considered as least dangerous? Is this from 1416? It`s a country where you are a victim on daily basis just because you have a different culture, look, belief or even a different language. And is that a safe place to be in? I don`t mean to be negative but the facts are far from what is shown on the map.

    France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden are much safier than Poland or Slovakia? We didn't have at least one terrorist attack!!! Sweden, France and Germany had a lot of rapists. In Bruxelles, Paris and Madrid were terrorists acts and so much people died from bombs or shooting. In Germany and Sweden is so much refugees and country can't handle this and can't fix problems with that - there is a lot dangerous people between refugees, they raped a lot of women and kids in this year. Someone who made this map is so stereotypical and think that East is more dangerous because Russia is close. This is fuc**ng scandal. Maybe you can come and check on your eyes before saying anything or creating this stupid and non objective map. Why India aren't red? The have one of the biggest index of rapes in whole world!

You know, Mexico, the one with the drug cartels running amok, not the paradise beaches one. Seems legit. "Crime is a prominent issue in South Africa. The country has a very high rate of murders, assaults, rapes (adult, child, elderly and infant), and other crimes compared to most countries. Most emigrants from South Africa state that crime was a big factor in their decision to leave.[1]" (Wikipedia)

    Yay!!! Croatia and S.Korea appear to be safe in all aspects!! (but the huge difference with N.Korea kinda seem to threaten that safety....) Btw, this reminded me of what a colleague from Guatemala always used to say whenever he'd get the chance → "Don't go to Guatemala! It's a very very dangerous place!" He says so because of the high crime rate and some personal experiences growing up there.

Our countries are most safest in whole world but of course your political correctness doesn't allow you to tell the truth.

    Terrorist attacks hardly define danger in a country. More people die from walking through a red traffic light on a daily basis, than people die from terrorist attacks. I get the feeling this list is made with attention to diseases and health care, otherwise Venezuela would light up a very bright red since it is home to the most dangerous cities in the world.

    I'd take this picture with a grain of salt. I can imagine that people do _report_ more rapes in Sweden though, than for example in UAE. I think they are also more informed about their rights and what is considered rape, what probably makes the numbers higher.

They may not carry malaria now, but, scientists are saying if global warming continues it may offer a habitat hospitable enough to allow mosquitos with malaria to breed.

    Well, first of all, note that the map shows "Medical Risk" by default. Neither rape or murder is concidered medical task, I believe. And we all know our healthcare system here in Poland doesn't work well. Just pick "Travel Security Risk" and you'll see that most European countries are on the same of level of risk (low). Secondly, Sweden has higher rape statistics because of their extended definition of "rape" (in Poland it would be "sexual assault", not "rape") and because of high detection level of such crime. Please note that we have a very low rape detection rates in Poland. It's believed that around 95% of rape cases never make it to police. 1 on 5 Polish women have experienced rape. Your statistics show not that there are nearly no rapes in Poland, but that they are not detected at all. Really nothing to be proud of.

In Germany and Sweden is so much refugees and country can't handle this and can't fix problems with that - there is a lot dangerous people between refugees, they raped a lot of women and kids in this year. Someone who made this map is so stereotypical and think that East is more dangerous because Russia is close. This is fuc**ng scandal.
