Travelling to new countries and exploring new destinations is always such a mesmerising experience. No matter how much globetrotters love and enjoy the experience of visiting new places for the first time, the thought of feeling safe and the overall well-being of that destination is always a major priority. Here are the safest countries in the world and you surely need to make travel plans to these countries.
Which Countries Top the Chart Of The World’s Safest Countries?
The Institute of Economics and Peace has released the Global Peace Index recently. It states about the annual ranking of the safest nations in the world, according to a report by TimeOut. To assess and evaluate different countries to add to this poll, the factors coming into action are crime levels, violence, corruption, terrorism, and more. According to the released index, the first country on the prestigious list of the safest countries in the world is Iceland.
Interestingly, this European country has been clinching the first rank on this list ever since 2008. It has been so long and Iceland has been topping the charts each and every year since 2008. The crime rate is quite low in this country along with low international conflict and less spending on military.
