Study shows world's safest countries to travel to

09-07-23

It is a privilege to walk down the street with peace of mind and confidence. So much so that, for our holidays, we tend to avoid the list of dangerous countries and always try to head for the safest places in the world. And thanks to the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), we know what they are.

Each year, the IEP launches the Global Peace Index (GPI), the most comprehensive analysis to date of changes in world peace and its economic value, as well as providing keys to developing peaceful societies. This ranking covers 99.7% of the world's population, and is calculated using 23 qualitative and quantitative indicators from well-respected sources, measuring the state of peace in three domains: the level of social security and protection, the extent of ongoing national and international conflict, and the degree of local militarisation.
