Ukraine was among the most dangerous countries to visit in 2024, according to the study of the International SOS medical consulting company. This is determined for the second consecutive year due to the high risks associated with the safety of life and health in connection with the war.
Researchers have created an interactive map that reflects potential threats to travelers and companies in different countries of the world. The analysis was carried out on four risk parameters: medical, safety, related to the climatic changes and mental health of humans.
Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, South Sudan, Central African Republic and Somalia were the most dangerous countries according to the safety parameter. They received the highest level of "extreme" warning, especially because of the rise in crime and social riots.
The safest countries have identified Iceland, Luxembourg, Norway, Switzerland and Denmark. This research helps travelers and companies evaluate risks and make awareness of safety in traveling and work in different countries.
