Travellers have been urged to avoid heading to 31 countries by the UK Government. The Foreign Office' s red list of no-go zones highlights areas of the world where the risk of serious injury, death, disease, being imprisoned or a whole host of other horrible outcomes are high, even for tourists. Holidaymakers daring to venture into these locales do so at their peril, as they'll be voiding any insurance cover and potentially dangling on a thread without supportive assistance if things go south.
Those who risk it all in these destinations might very well end up gambling with their own lives, Foreign Office officials warn. "Get advice and warnings about travel abroad, including entry requirements, safety and security, health risks and legal differences," the government department advises. Here's a list of countries and territories that the Foreign Office has issued travel warnings for, covering either all or most parts of these nations.
Even if a country isn't mentioned here, there could still be restrictions in certain areas, such as contentious borders or specific regions. So, before you jet off, make sure to check the Foreign Office website for the latest travel advisories and restrictions.
