With summer fast approaching, many of us will be looking around for the perfect holiday destination.
Undoubtedly, you will be looking for somewhere sunny, affordable and safe.
The last thing you want to consider when travelling is whether or not you’re in a potentially dangerous location.
Well, thanks to a 2024 risk map, you can now find out where is and isn’t safe to travel.
The risk map has been put together by medical and security consultancy International SOS.
It considers numerous factors, including medical and security risks – and for the first time, climate change has been included.
On the map, countries are graded on a five-level scale ranging from ‘low’ to ‘very high’ – for medical and climate change – and ‘insignificant’ to ‘extreme’ for security risks.
The insurance company considered several factors – such as women’s safety, theft, terrorism, weather conditions, and health and medical factors.
It’s important to note that the travel insurance’s report ratings are ‘predictive’, which means it doesn’t account for the possibility of natural disasters.
