Tourism is developing quite actively, more and more visa-free countries are appearing, which attract tourists. Many no longer want to go to Thailand or Turkey once again, they are drawn to the exotic. But each country has its own characteristics and pitfalls. Not all tourist countries are safe for recreation. The ten most dangerous include the following.
1. Brazil
Brazil is a country of bright sun and eternal carnivals. But in terms of the number of murders, Brazil surpasses even the United States by several times. Rape is not uncommon here. The highest crime rate occurs during the carnival.
2. Venezuela
Just like in Brazil, the crime rate is quite high here. The police are unable to stop criminal activity, and they are not even looking for pickpockets and those involved in burglary. Such a big crime is associated with political instability.
3. Haiti
Natural disasters are not uncommon here. Tourists can easily be overtaken by storms and even strong earthquakes. Haiti is home to quite poor people, so robberies and violence are not uncommon here. Infectious diseases are also widespread.
4. Iraq
For many years, hostilities have not stopped in Iraq, so it is undesirable to go here.
5. Congo
All African countries are at risk for holidaymakers. There is danger everywhere here. At the moment, the country is in a state of civil war, so there is practically no one to protect the local residents.
6. Mexico
Corruption, poverty and crime are rampant here. In Mexico, it's best not to walk alone down the street. If a tourist is not on the territory of the hotel, no one bears responsibility for his life.
7. Pakistan
There is not enough drinking water in Pakistan. There is also unsanitary conditions here, all this leads to dangerous infections. Terrorism is very seriously developed here.
8. Somalia
Somalia is a land of pirates and armed clashes. If you travel without a guide, you can easily run into a mine.
9. Philippines
Banditry, theft and robbery reign here. Even ordinary walks can be dangerous.
10. Russia
The famous traveler Jean Beliveau, who traveled around the world in 11 years, did not dare to go to Russia. The reason for this is the severe frosts. It is also believed that wild dangerous animals move freely across the territory of Russia. For those accustomed to such conditions, the country does not pose a serious threat, but for tourists from hot countries, winter frosts can become dangerous.
