Travel Risk Map – 11/25/18

Speaking of holiday travel, I recently came across the site TravelRiskMap.com that uses GIS functionality to show relative safety risks in medical, security and road safety categories. “Are countries that are generally considered to be dangerous really not suitable to visit? How safe is your home country, and places that you’ve visited before? It can be difficult to discern how safe places are with alarmist news stories breaking every other hour.” (Source: TheCultureTrip.com) The interactive Travel Risk Map is rudimentary but it may be helpful if you are planning your first visit to a foreign country.
