The catch to know
A common mistake is looking only at a country as a whole and failing to check specific "do not travel" zones located within that country. Safety conditions and security levels can vary significantly between different regions or provinces of the same destination. Always look for the specific details regarding sub-regions to ensure you are not entering a high-risk area.
