From Afghanistan to, yes, the United States, he lists 35 countries as the world's most dangerous places . Air Security International also comes up with a list of dangerous places every year. My list shares much in common with my travel security brethren. But I also have some additional inklings about what could be in store for travelers this year. Europe So long as the gangster economy prevails in Russia, violent crime can only increase.
Organized crime breeds common crime, and there is no indication that gangsterism is on the wane.
Asia Travel in India, particularly in New Delhi, will become more hazardous. There you can find all the festering economic, social, and political conditions that lead to increases in both street crime and terrorism. And I wouldn't be surprised if Japan didn't start to show some cracks in its reputation as one of the world's safest destinations. Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. Even if the government in Colombia makes progress against the rebels and the drug rings, the translucent borders of the region allow criminals to move freely to and from neighboring states.
