Also taken into account for the list are each country’s population density and its International Health Regulations capacity score (IHR), which evaluates a country’s ability to respond to public health risks and emergencies of national and international concern.
As travel restrictions are changing rapidly around the world, many travellers are a bit apprehensive about spending their holidays abroad. However, Berlin-based travel startup Tourlane has unveiled a list of the safest destinations for international tourists.
The rankings, overseen by Tourlane Head of Safety Johann Jones, assemble data collected on Aug 10, and analyse various metrics that can affect one’s holidays overseas amidst the coronavirus pandemic. These criteria include hours of sunshine per day for outdoor activities as well the national 14-day notification rates of new Covid-19 cases published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
