The U.S. International Trade Administration reported a 17% increase in U.S. citizens traveling abroad in January 2024 compared to the same period in 2019. However, travelers should be cautious, as certain destinations present higher risks.

Travel Advisories: Assessing Risk Levels

The U.S. State Department issues travel advisories for over 200 countries, categorizing them based on various risk factors such as health, terrorism, and civil unrest. These advisories range from Level 1, indicating normal precautions, to Level 4, advising against all travel.

Currently, 19 countries have a Level 4 advisory, indicating “Do Not Travel.” These countries face significant challenges, including crime, civil unrest, kidnapping, and terrorism. Notable updates include changes to advisories for Myanmar, Iran, and Gaza, as well as Niger and Lebanon being removed from the Level 4 list.

Highlighted Risky Destinations.

Afghanistan: Challenges include terrorism, wrongful detention, and a deteriorating human rights situation.

Belarus: Concerns arise from the facilitation of Russia’s war against Ukraine and arbitrary enforcement of laws.

Central African Republic: Despite no specific incidents involving U.S. citizens, violent crime and civil unrest are common.

Gaza: The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to widespread humanitarian crises and security risks.

Haiti: Escalating violence, including gang attacks and kidnappings, has prompted warnings for U.S. citizens to leave.

Iran: Threats include terrorism, arbitrary arrest, and escalating tensions with foreign nationals.

Iraq: Terrorism, armed conflict, and civil unrest persist, particularly in border regions and areas hosting U.S. troops.

Libya: Internal conflict, terrorism, and crime remain prevalent, with ongoing instability affecting safety.

Mali: Instability stemming from military coups and terrorist activities poses risks, with elections postponed indefinitely.

Mexico: Various states face high crime rates and kidnapping risks, warranting caution for travelers.

POLL—Should the U.S. Government Create a Path to Citizenship for Undocumented Immigrants?

North Korea: U.S. citizens are prohibited from traveling for risk of arrest and detention.

Russia: Invasion of Ukraine, harassment of U.S. citizens, and arbitrary law enforcement are among the concerns.

Somalia: Violent crime, terrorism, and piracy are ongoing threats, particularly in coastal areas.

South Sudan: Armed conflict, crime, and kidnapping present significant risks for travelers.

Syria: Widespread violence and instability make the entire country unsafe for travel, with terrorism and armed conflict rampant.

Yemen: Traveling there is hazardous due to a multitude of risks, including terrorism, civil unrest, and armed conflict.

Other countries with varying risk levels include China, Guinea, and Niger, among others. Travel advisories are subject to change based on evolving situations, and travelers are advised to stay informed.
