The very high-risk countries are marked in red where travelers will face serious danger and must expect considerable restrictions.
A new map shows the world’s most dangerous countries where travelers are at serious risk.
The data has been released as President Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorial regime came to an end in Syria after rebels took over Damascus and ousted him.
The disgraced President fled to Russia where Moscow granted him asylum.
A3M Global Minorting GmbH is a company that has created a risk map that assesses the global security situation and ranks countries on the risk spectrum from low to high, indicated by colors.
According to the company, the risk classification is made by assessing a variety of factors, like “entry and exit, transport (plane/air transport, long-distance public transport, local public transport, taxis, cars / rental cars, other means of transport), strike, infrastructure (money, telephone / mobile communications, internet, electricity), health (vaccinations, infection risks, hygiene, health care), natural hazards and the environment, security (crime, demonstrations/unrest, terrorism, armed conflict), economic security (corruption, industrial espionage) and special risks (cultural characteristics, LGBTQ, female travelers, criminal law characteristics and other risks).”
The very high-risk countries are demarcated in red where travelers will face danger and must expect considerable restrictions.
According to the company, travel might even be entirely impossible and if people want to visit these locations, they have to take extensive precautions.
“Travel to these areas is fundamentally advised against. The security situation is likely extremely tense due to armed conflicts, terrorist organizations, extensive violent crime, and/or unrest, and the government has little to no control over large parts of the country. Security forces and rescue services are rarely available, if at all,” they said, adding, “Affected areas may furthermore be difficult to access for travelers. Travelers are advised to not commence their travel without having thoroughly informed themselves about destination-specific risks via the country database (providing situation reports & instructions), or without following those instructions and exercising an extreme level of care.”
