6. HAITI
A top vacation destination and what many people have in their travel bucket list, interesting Haiti. Again, it is not the perfect destination due to the fact that it is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the Western Hemisphere. According to the U.S. Department, there are no safe areas for tourists in Haiti. As soon as you step into the country, you would be at risk of being kidnapped, carjacked, armed robbery, or murdered. Yes, there are some gorgeous resorts in this country that would make you blind behold the dangers. Those resorts offer some of the Caribbean’s incredible natural settings, but do you really think it is worth it?
7. YEMEN
A developing country still, but Yemen offers many modern amenities in the resort areas along the southern coast. The reason why Yemen is dangerous is Al-Qaeda, as mentioned by the U.S. government. Al-Qaeda is an extremist organization that threatens the lives of foreigners. In 2008, there was a terrorist attack on the embassy of the United States and it resulted in the death of an American tourist. That wasn’t the last attack, and since then, the State Department always cautions tourists from many places in Yemen, especially where political demonstrations are located.
8. KENYA
If you are a nature lover, then Kenya is probably in your travel bucket list already because you are aware that it is a natural wonder. But unfortunately, Kenya is one of Africa’s most crime-ridden countries because it is home to the majority of armed assailants, scam artists, and pickpockets. You could end up being a victim of a hotel room invasion, carjacking, rape, or kidnap. On the other hand, the political climate is also uneasy and there are always random terrorist attacks happening. So it is best to keep yourself safe as this country could be the last destination you’d ever visit.
9. LEBANON
Lebanon is a beautiful country that’s located in the Middle East, in fact, Beirut (the capital) used to be considered as the Paris of the Middle East with a coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. Recently, the war between Lebanon and Israel has escalated dangerously, and the U.S. State Department cautions travelers from visiting the country at all because Americans are somehow the target of many terrorist organizations. There are many militant organizations and Palestinian groups that operate in many parts of the country, which means the danger is surrounding you from unexpected areas in the country.
