The rise of political violence is not confined to traditional conflict zones; it is spilling over into popular tourist destinations. Over 200,000 incidents of political violence were reported last year, with nearly 250,000 fatalities linked to such events. While areas in the Middle East and Ukraine remain hotspots, places like Mexico, Greece, and Brazil are witnessing a rise in violence that poses risks for travelers. The increase is attributed to non-state actors' violence, technological advances, and geopolitical tensions, prompting the need for informed risk planning when traveling.
Political violence, historically concentrated in conflict regions, is rising in popular tourist destinations, making informed financial planning essential to mitigate risks.
While deaths from conventional war have decreased, the rise in non-state actor violence and geopolitical tensions suggests an unpredictable future for travelers.
