5 dangerous countries tourists rush to visit anyway
In pursuit of new experiences, tourists are willing to travel to even the most dangerous parts of the world. However, this decision is not always justified. In some countries, the risk of becoming a victim of criminals is so high that there is virtually no chance of getting out of there without any problems. Find out where it is better not to go on vacation in OBOZREVATEL's selection.
Republic of the Congo
There is no doubt about the beauty of nature in this country, but widespread unemployment has made the locals very cruel. In search of money, many people go to the extent of breaking the law. Foreigners are of particular interest to local criminal groups. Robbery is the most innocent thing that can happen here, as there have been cases of European women being sold into sexual slavery or killed for the illegal sale of organs.
Chad
First of all, people come here for desert safaris. Most of the country is located in the Sahara. Because of this, the air temperature is usually around 50 degrees. But this is not the only problem of the state. There have been several revolutions and coups d'état here, the economy is practically destroyed, and the political elite has virtually no control over the population. In addition to this, there is a complete lack of law enforcement and medical systems.
Yemen
The Arab country is incredibly popular among tourists. It is home to ancient religious and cultural monuments that can be of great public interest. However, a long-lasting war has erased the former beauty of this country, destroyed most roads and buildings. The government has long been out of control, and citizens are tired of constant confrontation. Due to frequent shelling and the difficult political situation, it is dangerous for tourists to come to the area.
Algeria
Despite the high crime rate, this country attracts a lot of tourists. Cheap accommodation and food, as well as many interesting places, attract foreigners. However, this is just a pretty picture that hides hundreds of cases of robberies, armed attacks, and even murders. Unemployment and low economy are forcing citizens to commit crimes just to feed their families. Foreigners are easy prey for them.
Haiti
Mountainous landscapes and a large selection of beaches are what tourists come to Haiti for. Here you can really find the best natural conditions for surfing and diving. However, the political system in the country is so unstable that uprisings and revolutions can break out at any time. In addition, it is a very poor country, where most of the population has been suffering from unemployment for many years. Therefore, crime is rampant here.
