Top 10 Most Hazardous and Dangerous Countries for Travelers in the World!
#10 – Mexico
© listakaTourism is this country is terribly suffering now more than ever, with the continually increasing crime rates. Although the Mexican government is probably trying its hardest to put an end to such destructive activities, the roots of criminality are running deep all over the country.
Sadly, many gorgeous cities which were considered safe for tourists have currently become very risky, mainly because of drug-related violence and crimes. The main crimes that are ruining Mexico’s reputation, as well as people’s lives, include sexual violence, armed and highway robberies, pickpockets, gun battles, carjacking kidnapping, and extortion.
In fact, many tourists have been victims of such crimes while visiting Mexico.
It’s a beautiful country but the risk is seriously huge, better stay home or choose a safer country. But first, check out the 9 following countries that you should also avoid.
#9 – France
© NPASurprised? So were we! France is known for being safe and tourist-friendly, but it’s no longer the case. Opportunists, crooks, and pickpockets are increasing in numbers, deterring tourists and causing a major issue for the French tourism industry.
Visitors are warned to guard their luggage and valuables since tourists have been reporting scary numbers of robberies. Also, ladies who were on a solo French adventure have suffered from abuse and aggression, thus precaution must be taken if you are a woman who loves traveling alone.
Nice, and of course, Paris are the two favorite destinations for tourists and thieves alike. Sad but true! Be extra careful when visiting these cities.
Surprised you did not mention the Maldives. It remains safe if you are part of ISIS and that’s about it~
Do u guyz ever visit India or Pakistan…
Wow. Can’t believe Russia was on the list. We spent six weeks on our 50th anniversary traveling from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok. People, without exception, were extremely friendly. Of course, you always need to be aware of your surroundings, domestic or otherwise. Moscow; exceptionally clean, no graffiti, almost need reservations to get into McDonalds. St. Petersburg is beautiful and a “go back to” city!
There is an island in Thailand which is very beautiful and is a massive magnet to the young. However there have been many unexplained deaths in the last few years which the police seem hell bent on covering up, mainly to protect the tourist trade.This island KOH TAO has become very dangerous indeed. Tell your kids to stay away.
Israel should have been #1.
A very biased and false dramatization of the situation of Pakistan. Do you have any figures of the tourists killed in any of the terrorist attacks in Pakistan? According to my knowledge at least none in last 5 years. As far as your question as to why someone would like to visit this country, out of many valid reasons I would only enlist a few.
1. It has the second highest mountain of the world.
2. Hosts 5 of the 8 above 8000 meter peaks in the world.
3. Meeting point of 3 most well known mountain ranges i.e. Hindukush, Karakoram and Himalayas.
4. Has the ruins of the earliest civilizations of the world at Mohenjodaro, Harappa and Taxila.
I could keep going on but for anyone to be convinced as to whether it’s worth taking a risk, the above few reasons should be enough.
