Dangerous Choice of Cities to Holiday-In

By Shania Brendon


Flights to Cali with Travel Center UK

A dream vacation in foreign climes is every leisure seekers fantasy. Enticing brochures and irresistible holiday offers promoting gorgeous vacation spots are galore and many a time unknowing travellers find themselves in rather ‘sticky’ situations, due to unstable situations surrounding some of the world’s most exotic cities. We have narrowed down the 10 most dangerous, read on and learn.

1. Barquisimeto-Venezuela

Once a major tourist hub, the city has a little over a million inhabitants, unfortunately Barquisimeto records at least one murder a day. Home to many universities and faculties of higher education Barquisimeto is now sadly one of Venezuela’s most dangerous cities, avoided by many tourists.

2. Peshawar-Pakistan

Pakistan on its own is a rather dangerous destination to travel to, with tribal wars and tussles of supremacy. Peshawar has seen lots of violence with suicide bombings and attacks on security forces. Definitely not safe for tourists Peshawar sadly, boasts impressive landmarks and gorgeous parks.

3. Sana’a-Yemen

Deemed as one of the world’s most dangerous cities Sanaa is also one of the most beautiful. Unluckily located in a politically unstable country, the old city of Sana’a is resplendent with gorgeous architecture from a bygone era.

4. Acapulco-Mexico

A beautiful port-city Acapulco was once a tourist hub. However the gorgeous beaches are now deserted owing to drug-lords running the city, and dead bodies turning up almost daily. Not a pleasant experience when on vacation.

5. Distrito Central-Honduras

Beautiful Distrito-Central is made up of three small cities unfortunately Distrito-Central exceeds the standard crime rate, with a maximum murder rate worldwide. Crime and violence are attributed to strong Mafia presence, poverty and corrupt government. Only the toughest travellers visit this city.

6. Maceio-Brazil

Tropical Brazil is home to 14 of the world’s most violent cities. Site of the mighty Amazon Jungle Brazil cannot guarantee your safety in many of its cities. Maceio is by far the worst with roughly 135 murders for every 100,000 residents! Not even the slums of Rio de Janeiro are this bad.

7. Mogadishu-Somalia

The Shabaab Militants of Somalia have been plaguing Mogadishu for over a decade. Residents and tourists alike are in danger here. Despite military advice from the United States since 2013, Mogadishu is still a high risk city for its residents.

8. Nairobi-Kenya

Beautiful Kenya sadly cannot guarantee tourist safety. Just one, of Nairobi’s conflicted cities Kenya especially is unsafe for women. Walking in the streets at night is high-risk. Al Shabaab Militants add to the danger. Not surprisingly Nairobi is not top priority on most tourists list of must visit cities.

9. Chihuahua-Mexico

Drug cartel problems plague most Mexican cities and Chihuahua is unfortunately located on the main Mexico-U.S cocaine smuggling route. Almost daily exchange of fire on the streets is not conducive to a relaxing holiday, no matter how gorgeous the tropical surroundings are.

10. Cali-Colombia

Once again the drug cartels have spoilt another Latin American city. Reporting over 80 homicides on average the city is no popular tourist hub. In fact it is a risk to live here.
So there you have it, beautiful cities, great sightseeing and the highest risk of danger to tourists. Unless drastic changes take place these exotic destinations are best avoided. Remember, no holiday destination is worth risking your life.

However, just when we thought the airport has everything the passengers’ need, the country keeps surprising us. Recently, Singapore has announced its major expansion plans to add a much impressive facility to its airport such that it will improve passenger experience by providing larger passenger capacity and entertainment facilities.

Singapore’s upscale new addition plan is named the “Project Jewel” and is designed by the popular architect – Moshe Safdie, the man behind the artistic Marina Bay Sands. The Project jewel covers a transformation of a 3.5 hectare plot of land that would be given a mixed architectural look featuring restaurants, shops, massive indoor garden with a waterfall. The project jewel would be completed and scheduled to be opened in 2018. In addition, the Terminal 1 of Changi Airport would be expanded for more space for other facilities such as larger arrival hall, baggage claims and taxi bays while it loses a car park.

The Jewel will be the ultimate world-class destination of glass and steel which undoubtedly would capture the hearts of everyone from the moment they arrive in Singapore. Changi Airport has seamlessly connected the passengers to over 270 cities across the globe and has been one of the favourite airports.

Important things to carry while travelling

By: Shania Brendon
Travelling is always fun. Exploring new places and enjoying your vacation to the fullest is what we all look forward to during the year. There may be a majority who literally live to travel and often tend to make spontaneous travel plans especially when they see some great deals from travel agents who offer cheap flights to favourite destinations. When travel is spontaneous, we do not usually give enough thought with regards to what you need to carry along while you travel. If you do not have the important stuff, then there is always a possibility that you would regret the entire planned holiday – so why be disappointed?

Be wise and plan ahead by keeping a comprehensive list of things which you should definitely carry with you while travelling. The following list would assist you for your next travel

1)    Passport, Itinerary and other travel documents

Your passport and itinerary are definitely the first things you should have in hand – ofcourse you wouldn’t be able to get through the departure terminal without them. In addition, other travel documents such as proof of hotel booking, travel insurance and driving licence or ID will be important for a peaceful holiday.

2)    Money, Money and Money!

Carry with you some cash as well as ATM, debit or credit cards. It is always safe to have some local currency of the destination you are travelling to. It would come in handy when you have to pay for cab from the airport or grab a meal once you have landed. Further tip would be to split the cash you are carrying amongst your friends or family who are travelling with you – just in case a robbery happens, you will still have some handy cash.

3)    Clothes – “comfort before fashion”

Depending on the destination you are travelling to, grab the clothes you will need. It is always wise to carry a bikini or swimsuit and heaps of underwear. Furthermore, grab more comfortable clothes than fashionable ones as well as other accessories such as sunglasses, overcoats, hats, flip flops – this would enable you to enjoy your holiday more.

4)    Gadgets

Holidays should be always memorable and you should always keep these memories forever. This is why you will NEED a camera when you travel anywhere to remember, cherish and share the memories of each holiday. Along with you camera, make sure you carry the charger and at least one multi-plug. IPADS, IPODS and laptops are other important gadgets few travellers like to bring along.

5)    First AID and toiletries

If you are travelling with kids and trekking, racing or other adventurous activities are in your itinerary, then a first AID kit will always be useful to carry. In addition, ensure you carry other important toiletries such as toothbrush, body creams, wipes and tissue papers.
