Translation
Česko je jednou z nejbezpečnějších zemí na světě pro letní cestování

Podle platformy HelloSafe je Česko šestou nejbezpečnější zemí na světě a pátou v Evropě. Je bezpečnější než oblíbené destinace jako Itálie, Francie nebo Německo. Platforma zkoumala pět důležitých faktorů: kriminalitu, riziko přírodních katastrof, kvalitu zdravotní péče, terorismus a militarizaci. V čem je Česko tak bezpečné? Je to kombinace nízké kriminality, dobré zdravotní péče a mírumilovné společnosti. Ve skutečnosti se také umístilo výše než Maďarsko, Slovensko a Polsko. Je tedy také nejbezpečnější zemí ve střední Evropě. Celosvětově se výše umístilo pouze pět zemí: Island, Singapur, Dánsko, Rakousko a Švýcarsko. Některé oblíbené destinace se příliš dobře neumístily. Řecko je třetí nejnebezpečnější zemí v Evropě, hned za Ruskem a Ukrajinou. Francie, Itálie, Španělsko a Albánie se rovněž umístily na konci evropského žebříčku. V celosvětovém měřítku jsou nejnebezpečnějšími turistickými destinacemi Kolumbie, Mexiko a Venezuela. Umístění České republiky mezi nejbezpečnějšími zeměmi světa není náhodné. V roce 2023 byla Praha označena za třetí nejbezpečnější město na světě a nejbezpečnější v Evropě. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
