No one goes on a trip waiting to go. But when you go somewhere on a trip, it happens to those who have gone to some places to be harassed. For example, a country like Saudi Arabia, which has strict laws in the Middle East, has strict laws for women. Therefore, even though there are beautiful places in Saudi Arabia, it is difficult to go to that country with family and feel relaxed. Due to various reasons like that, some tourist places have been badly known as places that are not so good to go to. Let’s see details about some of them.
1. Florida, USA
Florida in America is a popular coastal location. Florida mud beaches are popular with tourists. But Florida is not a very suitable place for beach tourists. More than 250 human shark attacks have been reported off the coast of Florida. Among these, bull sharks have been the most destructive to humans. After one shark attack, this beach becomes devoid of tourists. But soon tourists will come back to dive, swim and play on Florida Beach.
2. Rio de Janeiro – Brazil
A huge statue of Christ with outstretched hands, Rio is a popular place among tourists. The Olympics were also held in Rio recently. Thousands of people flock to Rio every year for people who like to climb mountains, go to the jungle, relax on the beach and enjoy the night parties. Between January and June 2015, 150 robberies of tourists’ money were reported at a popular mountain in Rio. In addition, kidnappings of tourists’ money, bags, pants and valuables are also frequently reported from Rio.
3. Acapulco Mexico
Acapulco has been one of the most crime-ridden cities in the world for a long time. Tourists from America and neighboring countries come to relax at Acapulco Mudu Beach because of the comfortable tropical climate throughout the island. In 2016 alone, 30,000 people have been victims of crime in this tourist city of Mexico. This amount is close to the amount of crime in countries with major wars like Syria and Iraq. More than 82 serious crimes such as murders, kidnappings, robberies etc. are reported from this city every day. Therefore, America has now warned American citizens not to go to Acapulco to relax.
4. Port Moresby – Papua New Guinea
Port Moresby is the capital of Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea is an underdeveloped country where there are sixty and a half tribes who have not yet come to a civilized society and live in the jungles in different parts of the country. In the capital of this country, looting and torture are happening in broad daylight. In Port Moresby, which is reported as the worst place for women to go, it is reported that many persecutions are happening to women. The police in this city, which is 100 km away from Australia, sometimes use primitive weapons such as sticks, bows and arrows to stop the riots of the public. Criminals in that country say that they can steal valuable things like money and jewelry by threatening women. Papua New Guinea is a beautiful country with beautiful coral reefs, cultural heritage and tropical forests. But because of the distress of the people in the country, tourists are not very interested in going to Papua New Guinea.
5. Any city – Indonesia
Bali in Indonesia is also popular among Sri Lankans. Also, Indonesia is an easy country for Sri Lankans to visit without a visa. But Indonesia is a country that always takes the first place in terms of natural disasters. At the dawn of this year, the city of Jakarta in Indonesia was flooded. 4 lakh people lost their places due to that sudden flood. Of those, 43 people died and went to the next world… In Indonesia, a country with more than 16,000 islands on a tectonic plate boundary, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis are reported every year. In 2004, 230,000 Indonesian people died in the Tsunami, which swallowed more than 30,000 people in Sri Lanka. Although it is a country with very beautiful locations, many types of food, and beautiful people, a trip to Indonesia is a trip with risks.
6. Caracas – Venezuela
Venezuela is currently the poorest country. Due to poverty in Venezuela, a large number of people live in slums. Tourists have been advised not to go to such areas. In Caracas, home to more than 3.3 million people, 130 crimes have been reported per 100,000 people. In Caracas, which is on a very weak footing economically, various hooligan groups have formed and started robbing people of their money. Like in Colombia, Venezuela also hired private armed groups to suppress these criminal groups, but it has not been completely successful.
7. Kuala Lumpur – Malaysia
Most of the cities in terms of crime belong to South America. Europe, Africa and Asia also have high crime cities. Kuala Lumpur, the closest city to us, is also one of the largest cities in Asia. That city has also become an Asian city full of drug dealers and criminals. Many Sri Lankans go to Kuala Lumpur
Because air travel is cheap. But now a few foreign tourists have started doubting Kuala Lumpur. Everyday street robberies, kidnappings and crimes are reported in Malaysia’s huge capital.
Those who willingly go on dangerous tourism activities meet with accidents in various places around the world. Among them are mountain climbers, water rafters, volcano climbers, mountain climbers, and dangerous beach climbers. Deaths and accidents are reported to tourists even in such dangerous places. But they are not just a problem in those places. Tourists flock to those places knowing the deadly situation. However, when going from country to country, city to city, how does crime happen? Are there things like war in that country or province? Are natural disasters frequent? If you can find out before going, it would be very valuable.
