      10 Most Dangerous Tourist Destinations!

      Everyone vacations differently, some people want adventure, some want
      relaxation, but everyone wants to be safe. Some of the most well-known
      tourist destinations do not always guarantee that last one. Below is a list of
      some of the most dangerous tourist destinations around the world. If you’d
      like your holiday to come with a side of danger, these places are just for you.

      10_ Bangkok Thailand

      Thailand has been South East Asia's tourist hub for years now and is really one
      of the world’s most charming cities. In Bangkok, you are guaranteed to have an
      unforgettable time although without watching your step, this could be for the
      wrong reasons. Thailand has difficulties with crime and is rife with corruption
      that has stunted its development for as long as memory serves. Organized
      crime is prominent in Bangkok and authorities seem to do the opposite of
      prevention. In extreme cases, it is not uncommon for tourists to have fatal
      "accidents" that are followed by bungled, unfinished police investigations. That
      said, you are more likely to be targeted by a street scam, a police bribe or thief
      than violence. Keep your wits about you, your valuables safe and hidden and
      learn to recognize common scams.

      9_ Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

      Brazil is the home of white sand beaches and outstanding rainforests, but
      crime, political tension, and the Zika virus make it a possibly dangerous place
      to visit. In the cities, demonstrations are common, and like anywhere in the
      world they have the potential to become violent as the police forces attempt
      to control or disperse the crowd. You may not be shocked that Rio makes the
      list, although to consider it "too dangerous" to travel to would be wrong. It is
      not and if you have the chance, you should pay a visit. Authorities have
      successfully and dramatically stepped up efforts to make the city safer since
      the 90's when it was classed as a danger across the board. It is now considered

      safe enough to host the world’s prime sporting event in the Olympics later this
      year but you should not take that as an opportunity to let your guard down.
      Plenty of people are robbed in Rio every year and tourists are repeatedly
      targeted by thieves and con artists, so make the effort to keep yourself safe.
      On top of that, there are the favelas. The bottom line when it comes to these
      are AVOID THEM. By venturing into the favelas, you are opening yourself up to
      all manner of criminal activity.

      8_ Israel

      Israel is again perhaps not such an unexpected addition to the list considering
      its current political and foreign policies. It is, however, one of those
      destinations that will change a traveller’s life. The history both recent and
      ancient is as rich and fascinating as you will find anywhere in the world. The
      reason it makes it on to the list is perhaps unfortunately born out of that
      history. It is a region that is at continuous odds with its close neighbours and
      improvised explosive devices, bomb attacks and rockets targeting locals just as
      much as tourists have become part of daily life in the Holy Land making it
      particularly volatile part of the world. It is not quite on par with places like
      Mogadishu or Kabul in terms of violence, but it does see a high level of tourist
      activity and for that reason, its inclusion in this list is warranted.

      7_ Bogotá, Columbia

      Granted, the capital of Columbia has become a much safer destination since
      the days of Pablo Escobar and the rule of the cartels. Efforts to increase safety
      and draw higher levels of tourism have been somewhat successful, the police
      provide a much higher level of leadership and the city and country is certainly a
      destination we would encourage to add to your bucket list. Despite this, the
      narcotics trade is still prevailing in rural areas and traveling outside of tourist
      areas is not advised. The cartels have an entrenched influence and this can
      occasionally find its way into larger cities, tourists have been known to be
      targeted for kidnappings so make sure you keep a low profile.

      6_ Mumbai, India

      Mumbai comes with the expected tourist threats faced in a developing country
      where extreme poverty and vast wealth meet every day. Pick-pocketing is an
      art in Mumbai, leaving your belongings unattended even for a second is not a
      sensible move so get some Clever Travel Companion gear and be creative with
      it if you are planning on a trip, scammers also ply their trade on a far too often
      basis although if you do run into trouble, it’s unlikely to leave anything but
      your wallet hurt. Mumbai is considered one of the world’s wonders and
      checking it out is a must for anyone considering themselves a traveller,
      just keep your belongings close and you will have an awesome time.
