TOP 10 DANGEROUS TOURIST PLACES IN THE WORLD
As soon as the world is back to normal, travelling will be one of my top priorities, and I’m sure I’m not
alone in this thought. But, finding the perfect vacation spot is a bit tricky and there are a lot of things to
consider, foremost among these is safety because let’s face it, not all tourist destinations are tourist
friendly. Number one is actually a tourist magnet, but is actually a very dangerous place to visit. Find out
where it is as we give you 10 of the most dangerous tourist places in the world.

Number 10. Honduras
Honduras‘ fascinating Maya ruins, sparkling beaches, and vibrant culture make it a beautiful travel
destination in Central America. But beneath the natural beauty of Honduras is a high crime rate. Most
criminal activity is of the petty theft variety, with pickpockets and purse snatching occurring quite
frequently against unsuspecting tourists.
In addition to high rates of petty crime in Honduras, there's also a growing concern about violent
incidents, such as kidnapping, rape, assault and murder. Armed robbery is a common problem, with
thieves targeting both pedestrians and tourist vehicles.
Murder is perhaps the biggest concern for foreigners. Between 2010 and 2015 Honduras had the highest
murder rate in the world. Areas that see higher incidents of foreigners being murdered include San
Pedro Sula and La Ceiba, with many incidents occurring shortly after the victims arrived. This may be due
to tips obtained from criminal sources that hang out at airport arrival areas. Because of this, visitors are
strongly advised not to discuss the details of their travel plans in public.

Number 9. Kenya
Compared to other African countries, Kenya is a relatively safe place for tourists. Kenya’s remarkable
savannahs, iconic wildlife, and snowy mountain peaks grace many a traveler’s bucket list, but the US
Department of State is currently advising against travel to the country.
First of all, there is a high risk of getting Malaria from this country. Which should be no problem if you
have yourself properly vaccinated before going on your trip. However, mosquitoes aren’t the only
insects you should be wary about. You also need to watch out for biting wasps and scorpions, both of
whom you wouldn’t want to get stung by. Trust me.
Crime is also prevalent there, especially in the big cities, particularly Nairobi. Eastleigh, in Nairobi's east
is considered a high- risk area due to the number of terror-related incidents that have occurred since
2012. Violent crimes have also been known to occur in Buruburu, Kasarani, Mathare, Pangan, South B
and South C. Violent crime in Nairobi is increasing in some suburbs with armed carjackings, kidnappings
and even home invasions.

Number 8. Acapulco, Mexico

Mexico was sure to make the list at some stage right? Although these days it's hard to judge whether
Acapulco or many Mexican cities for that matter can still be considered tourist destinations. Beautiful
beaches, a perfect climate and cuisine that's hard to beat doesn't outweigh being named the 3rd most
violent city in the world.
Acapulco used to be one of Mexico's most prosperous cities and is still one of the country’s most
popular tourist destinations but the high levels of crime mean that tourists and locals are under constant
threat of danger.
The narcotics industry naturally plays a huge role in the city's crime but the tourist population also plays
a big role in the narcotics trade. People do still travel to Acapulco and enjoy themselves, leaving with
positive memories – so not all is bad! Take care of yourself, don't make yourself and obvious target and
you're likely to get on fine.

Number 7. El Salvador
Basking in the Central American sun, catching smiles from locals, and riding world famous surf breaks –
it's hard to believe that El Salvador has one of the highest homicide rates in the world. Although gang
violence is rarely targeted at foreigners, extreme caution is a must to make sure you don't end up in the
line of fire.
It's no lie that crime is a problem in El Salvador, but most travelers get out of the country without
trouble. Around 4,000 murders a year occur on the streets of El Salvador, with gangs taking control of
many areas. The country's capital, San Salvador, is where most of the violent attacks take place, but
some areas are obviously more at risk than others. Needless to say, try to avoid walking at night in these
places, whether alone or in a group.
