The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) updated its travel advice for Turkey last week after three suicide bombers killed 45 people at Atatürk International Airport in Istanbul.
The government body now advises against all travel to within 10 kilometres of the border with Syria and to the city of Diyarbakir, while all but essential travel to the surrounding south-east of the country should be avoided.
A new map, which we first spotted on Indy 100, uses the FCO's information to illustrate which countries in the world are considered safe to visit and where caution should be exercised.
The map is colour coded:
- Green: Safe to travel
- Yellow: Against travel in some parts of the country
- Red: Against travel in all parts of the country
African and Asian nations were deemed the most dangerous due to high levels of terrorism and corruption, while warnings have also been put in place for areas of Russia and South America.
Travellers are advised to be cautious while travelling in northern parts of South America, particularly Colombia, due to the Zika virus outbreak, gang violence, and drug smuggling. The FCO's website warns: "In general, the more remote the area, the greater the potential threat to your safety."
Russia was deemed to be mostly safe, but conflict along the border with Ukraine and further south means tourists should avoid travelling to those particular areas.
A fully interactive version of the map can be seen on the Indy 100's original article, or you can see how your country fares on the FCO's website.
