kabarsula Travellers feel safest in Canada, least safe in Mexico, Global Rescue says bandar SLOT INDONESIA

Canada is the country where the most experienced international travellers say they have felt safest, while Mexico is the destination most often named as the place they felt least safe, according to the Global Rescue Fall 2026 Traveler Sentiment and Safety Survey.

Canada led the safest-destination ranking overall, followed by New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Japan and Switzerland. On the least-safe side, Mexico ranked first by a wide margin, followed by South Africa, France, Brazil and Egypt.

“Feeling safe is one of the most powerful ways travellers remember a destination,” The Global Rescue Companies CEO Dan Richards said. “Canada’s consistency across groups suggests that traveler confidence is shaped by the full experience, how predictable the environment feels, how people are treated and whether they believe help will be available if something goes wrong.

“Safety perceptions are personal, and they are shaped by where travelers go, what they encounter and how prepared they are when conditions change,” Richards added. “A positive past experience is valuable, but it should never replace current destination intelligence, contingency planning and access to help when traveling internationally.”
