The UK Foreign Office now strongly warns against travel to 31 countries due to various safety and security risks. UK tourists are advised to avoid these destinations, where threats range from terrorism and war to extreme weather conditions. The Foreign Office cautions that travelling to these areas against official advice will invalidate any standard travel insurance, leaving tourists unprotected. The Foreign Office’s warnings stem from various risks, including ongoing conflicts, political instability, and the potential for terrorist attacks. Extreme weather, such as wildfires, tornadoes, and tsunamis, are also factors included in the advisories. For example, travel to large parts of Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories is advised against due to the ongoing conflict.
