YEREVAN, OCTOBER 18, ARMENPRESS: TravelVivi online travel guide
included Azerbaijan in the top 5 countries one should avoid visiting.
As reports Armenpress, it is mainly noted in the website "Traveling is
an activity that is enjoyed by tens of millions of people all over the
world and all year round. And while there are many tourist-friendly
destinations, in Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia, Canada and the
United States that have much to offer in terms of attractions,
activities, hotels and dining options, there are still places,
where there is always a threatening risk - risk of getting robbed,
kidnapped, caught in a tourism scam, or be at the wrong place at the
wrong time. To avoid visiting such places in today's somehow dangerous
world, TravelVivi.com has chosen 5 destinations, excluding those that
are more or less obvious, where there are currently military conflicts
or are terrorist or are so much politically isolated like North Korea,
Belarus. We are presenting you the countries we consider you should
remove from your lists". Azerbaijan gets the 3rd place in this list,
following Papua New Guinea and Haiti.
"Azerbaijan is known as the 'Land of Fires' and is in the list of 5
dangerous places tourists avoid visiting; and not for nothing. Though
blessed with spectacularly beautiful nature and a wealth of
attractions, including a great many UNESCO World Heritage Sites,
which azeris claim to be their heritage, Azerbaijan, rich with oil and
gas, still remains one of those countries, where there are concerns
regarding freedom of expression and freedom of the media, as well
as worries of being mugged or robbed, attacked or being insulted,
and be a subject to a physical attack because of your skin color,
ethnic origin or religion. Azerbaijan recently came into light of
international media after releasing, pardoning and giving a national
hero status to a convicted axe murderer Ramil Safarov. Azerbaijan
has seen a downward trend in the number of crimes committed against
foreigners. Foreigners are at a great risk in areas attracting large
crowds or in every isolated area. There have been several reports from
individuals who have been victims of crimes occurring late at night
in bars frequented by Westerners. There have also been reports from
a number of women complaining of unwanted male attention, including
groping and other offensive behavior, as well as reports of vehicle
break-ins at regional tourist sites and more, much more" it is noted
in the article.
TravelVivi warns, If you ever happen to visit Azerbaijan, be sure
to follow the following tips: do not walk alone at night in dark and
unlit streets; try to arrange to be picked up or dropped off as close
to your hotel as possible by a taxi accredited to the hotel you are
staying in, and avoid showing large sums of money in public or taking
your valuables with you.
Egypt has been also included in the list of most dangerous country
to visit.
It is also highlighted in that the article is not politically motivated
and is just Travelvivi's opinion.
