WHILE sun, sea and sand are top priorities for a summer holiday, safety isn’t too far down the list either.
The country you choose to travel to can have a big impact on personal security though, especially in recent years when terrorism incidents have spread across the West.
So which countries are the safest for holidaymakers to go to this year?
Every two years, the World Economic Forum (WEF) publishes a Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report that looks at the cost of common crime and violence, the number of terrorist incidents, how reliable the local police are and the homicide rate in each country per 100,000 of the population.

The United Arab Emirates, home to Dubai, is overwhelmingly the safest among popular holiday destinations, ranking top of the list and just second in the world rankings below Finland.
Spain, the most popular holiday destination for Brits, came third place on the list and 18th in the world, compared to the UK’s ranking at 78 globally…
