Ghana, Namibia, Gambia Among Others ranked low on Travel Risk Map 2018


Countries such as Ghana, Gambia, Namiba, Zambia among others have been ranked low on the the International SOS and Control Risks Travel Risk Map 2018. 

The International SOS and Control Risks published the Travel Risk Map 2018 to help organisations better understand the risks in the markets where they operate and travel.

The Travel Risk Map displays each country’s medical risk rating and travel security risk rating.  The result is a comprehensive overview of risks by destination. Highlighting to organisations the need for travel risk mitigation efforts.

RISK RATINGS
Countries and regional travel security risks are rated ‘Extreme’, ‘High’, ‘Medium’, ‘Low’, or ‘Insignificant’.

There are variable levels of travel security risks within countries. Mexico, Egypt, India, and Ukraine are examples of generally ‘Medium’ travel risk ratings, which have higher risk ratings in specific regions within that country. 

Countries are assigned a medical risk rating of ‘Low’, ‘Medium’, ‘High’, ’Very High’, or ‘Rapidly Developing Variable Risk’.

In the report, Ghana was ranked low alongside Benin, Namibia, Gambia, Malawi and Botswana. However, countries such as DR Congo, Niger, Nigeria, Chad were ranked High while the Central African Republic and South Sudan were ranked Extreme.

The interactive map features drill-down capabilities to see specific zones within countries that have a higher travel security risk rating, and city/country search functionality.
