Dangerous Places For Vacation

The world keep growing smaller and despite that, the dangerous places are growing bigger..In other not to bore you will fears or too much  worries. Here are some of the most dangerous places for a vacation

Tegucigalpa, Honduras

Honduras is an incredibly popular tourist destination. It is steeped in ancient history, as well as being one of the most beautiful places in the world in terms of natural sights and vistas. You could, quite literally, get lost in its amazing natural wonders and it has far more charm than many other South American countries. However, it is a very dangerous place at the same time, particularly in terms of health and crime especially in the capital city of Tegucigalpa.

Since 2010, Honduras has had one of the highest murder rates in the world. The National Violence Observatory (NVO), an academic research institution based out of Honduras’ National Public University, reported a murder rate of 86.5 per 100,000 people in 2011, 85.5 per 100,000 people in 2012, and 79 murders per 100,000 people for 2013. The government reported that the rate had fallen to 66.4 per 100,000 as of December 31, 2014. Most of Honduras’ major cities (Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula, La Ceiba, and others), as well as several Honduran “departments” (a geographic designation similar to U.S. states) have homicide rates higher than the national average for 2014.
“Diseases like Dengue Fever and malaria are commonplace here. There is a seriously high level of crime . Honduras also has one of the highest murder rates in any nation in the world.”,..Medical care is limited. Emergency services, even in Tegucigalpa, are basic at best. Although many physicians are trained in the U.S., their staff and equipment are generally not up to U.S. standards.

Ciudad Juarez,
Mexico  said to be the most dangerous city to visit in terms of crime. Juarez makes appearances on Wonders World’s list of the Top 5 Most Dangerous Cities in the World, it’s mentioned in AOL Travel’s list of most dangerous honeymoons, and it places sixth on Urban Titan’s ranking of the 10 Most Dangerous Cities in the World. The U.S. Department of State reports that three times as many people have been murdered there than in any other Mexican city; in 2009, more than half of the deaths in Mexico, which were reported to the U.S. Embassy, took place in either Juarez or Tijuana.”

However, this is not to say that you should not visit Juarez, and it certainly is worth a trip. Just 20 miles away from El Paso, Texas, it is actually too good an opportunity to miss for a nice day out. However, it is very important to not have any open displays of wealth. Furthermore, people should only use ATM machines in commercial establishments. The chance of another machine being set up to steal your identity is substantial. Tourist should try as much as possible to start in public areas. Avoid remote locations and stick together....

Guatemala City

Guatemala itself is a very beautiful and popular tourist destination. Located  on the Caribbean side of Central America, awesome weather alone is enough to attract thousands of people a year and for good reason. There  many awesome facilities, beautiful resorts, stunning beaches and more. Unfortunately, the capital of the country, Guatemala City, should be avoided at all costs.

“It’s a nation that is plagued with drug violence. It has a high murder rate and other common crimes include street robberies, bus holdups and carjackings. It’s advisable if visiting Guatemala to remain in safer regions and avoid Guatemala City.”

With many of these destinations, the biggest danger is getting caught up in drug violence on the street. In addition, many opportunistic crimes also occur in these locations, with identity theft in particular being on the rise. As a consumer, it is vital, therefore, that you take all the necessary precautions to avoid becoming a victim of some of those crimes. At the same time, it is very  important that you  have excellent travel insurance in place, and identity protection precautions. Other than that, regular travelers’ common sense must prevail. Strolling through darkened alleys in the middle of the night should never be something you attempt to do, no matter where in the world you are. And if you do go to any of these destinations, remember to enjoy yourself as well.
