World’s riskiest holiday destinations REVEALED – and they’re probably on your bucket list

Before booking a holiday, it’s important to do a lot of research into the location you’re travelling to. 

Holidaymakers should always check the FCO travel advice regarding their destination and contact their tour operator if they have any concerns. 

New research from Endsleigh Insurance Services has unveiled the top 10 riskiest destinations in the world. 

Julia Alpan, head of marketing at Endsleigh, said: “Thailand is a popular destination for holidaymakers and backpackers, so it’s no surprise to see it revealed as the most dangerous location in the world to visit.

“Travelling in a foreign country is exciting, but there can be risks involved, particularly when you’re not familiar with the destination.

“As well as staying safe, it’s important to do your research ahead of your trip to make sure you’re covered with the correct travel insurance.

“Your insurance company will be able to provide you with full details of what you will and won’t be covered for on your policy, so make sure you’re aware of the full terms before you travel.”
