In the updated ranking released in early March, Morocco notably ranks ahead of Tunisia, which stands just behind in 43rd place with 72 points. The international study evaluates tourist destinations based on an in-depth analysis of several key factors that determine safety for visitors.
The index is based on five main criteria: public safety and crime levels, political and social stability, the quality of health security, cybersecurity, and environmental risks linked to climate conditions. This approach reflects the evolving expectations of travelers, for whom the concept of safety now goes far beyond crime alone.
Today, the strength of healthcare systems, the ability of authorities to manage natural disasters, and the protection of digital data have become essential parameters when choosing a travel destination.
Morocco, a Security Reference in Africa
Morocco’s presence in the global Top 50 reflects a favorable balance between institutional stability, quality infrastructure, and the effectiveness of risk management mechanisms. According to the report, these elements contribute to strengthening the confidence of international visitors.
In a context where only a limited number of African countries appear among the highest-ranked destinations, Morocco stands out as one of the safest destinations on the continent. The study notes that several African states still face structural challenges, particularly in areas such as healthcare systems, road safety, and political stability.
Despite these constraints, North Africa continues to attract a growing number of international tourists, notably thanks to a generally stable environment and reassuring reception conditions for visitors.
Nordic Countries Dominate the Ranking
Globally, the top positions are largely dominated by Northern European countries. Iceland ranks first with a score of 92.4 points, followed by Switzerland and Norway. Finland and Denmark complete the top five.
This dominance is mainly explained by strong governance, long-term political stability, and highly efficient social and healthcare systems.
Asia is also well represented in the ranking, with Singapore occupying sixth place and Japan ranked eighth, thanks to high levels of urban safety and the efficiency of their institutions.
A Methodology Based on International Data
To compile the index, HelloSafe relied on data from several international organizations, including the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the International Telecommunication Union, and the World Bank.
