Mexico: popular but dangerous

The countries that are considered "extreme risk" according to this report are Ukraine, Pakistan, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, the Central African Republic and Burkina Faso in West Africa.

It is interesting to discover that the report reveals some popular vacation destinations as having a moderate risk.

For example, a number of destinations that are also loved by Israeli tourists, including Thailand, India and Turkey.

This is due to the criminal cases that occur in them.

Mexico, which is a popular global tourist destination, has been labeled as "high risk" due to violence involving the cartels, including in popular tourist areas.

The Independent website reports that countries marked as "extreme risk" are those where there is an active conflict and a high level of criminal activity and civil unrest.

This ranking also indicates that the government institutions in these countries are unable to curb militant groups or large-scale disasters.

An example of this is Ukraine, regarding which the report even states that "Russia's invasion of Ukraine led to dramatic increases in energy costs against the background of already high global inflation. Russia's hold on a large part of Europe's natural gas supply directly threatens Europe's energy security. Ukraine and Russia form a large part from global food and metal exports, and further disruption of these supply chains will continue to negatively impact European food supply and production."
