Cape Town, in particular, has contributed to the burden on the travel experience. She experienced the same thing in ** Morocco **, where she had problems with thefts, especially in markets, and wanted to have started this trip better prepared.

The problems that Hubers found in ** Greece ** were diverse. Overcrowded tourist hotspots, especially on Santorini, and the oppressive summer heat meant that their visits to Rhodes, Crete and Corfu did not leave the desired impression. In ** Spain ** she fought with the initially unusual Siesta culture, which made her experiences in this country significantly more difficult because many shops were closed in the afternoon and dinner was served late.

also ** Japan ** was not recommended by Hubers, as high prices and the overcrowding of the restaurants during their travels led to often had to fall back on fast food. These experiences provide an insight into the potential stumbling blocks with which travelers are confronted in popular destinations.

The risk card 2025 shows alarming trends

According to Reisereporter.de, a particularly large number of countries have been classified on this map. This applies to almost 50 countries, including states such as Mali and Nigeria.

The card not only evaluates the geopolitical tensions, but also other factors such as crime rate and the effectiveness of security services. Among the countries with an extremely high risk are ** Libya, Somalia and Afghanistan **. In contrast, the ten safest countries such as ** Denmark, Finland and Switzerland ** were classified as "inconsiderable risk".

health risks and climatic challenges

In addition to the safety aspects, the card also evaluates health risks. Due to increased health risks, countries like ** Bolivia ** and ** Libya ** have learned to deteriorate their situation, which further extends the list of uncertain travel destinations. Climatic risks also play an important role; Countries like ** Yemen and Iraq ** are particularly affected by the consequences of climate change, which further reinforces the causes of possible conflicts.

The travel warnings for popular tourist locations have not only affected security, but also the general travel experience in many parts of the world. The combination of personal experiences and a global risk assessment underlines the challenges that travelers have to deal with today.
