Traveling alone abroad allows you to discover a destination at your own pace, without having to take into account the wishes of others. But some countries are less suited to this type of trip… A ranking conducted by TripSIM scrutinized 40 European countries to evaluate the risks that solo travelers may face. Crime, road safety, the quality of care, or the feeling of safety in the streets: several criteria were taken into account. And some very popular tourist destinations appear among the lower-ranked.

Italy, Greece, Albania… These tourist destinations are among the riskiest

To establish its ranking, the virtual SIM (eSIM) company TripSIM compared 40 European countries using 13 indicators related to safety and travel conditions. The study notably takes into account crime levels, road risks, the quality of healthcare infrastructure, the availability of public transport, and the share of residents who feel safe when walking alone at night.

At the top of this rather unwelcome ranking sits Russia, with the highest risk score (65.64 points). It notably features a crime index of 6.92 and a score of 3.367 on the Global Peace Index. Moldova ranks second with 50.82 points, while Bosnia and Herzegovina completes the podium with 48.45 points. In the latter country, the indicator for the availability of public transport reaches 66.9.

The remainder of the ranking holds a few surprises for travelers fond of Southern Europe. Italy thus positions itself in fourth place, with 44.96 points. Among the top 10 countries for which this data is available, it shows the lowest share of people who feel safe walking alone at night — only 60%. Yet its homicide rate remains relatively low, at 0.57 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. A figure that underscores the importance of cross-checking several indicators rather than relying on crime alone.

Albania comes fifth with 44.44 points, recording a healthcare quality index of 47.9. Greece follows in sixth place (43.31 points). If only 64% of its residents feel safe walking alone at night, the country nevertheless benefits from good public transport coverage, with an availability indicator of 96.5.

Malta takes seventh place (42.47 points), followed by Romania (41.95), North Macedonia (41.51), and Belarus (40.62). These countries display different profiles. Malta, notably, has the lowest road mortality rate among the top 10, at 2.19 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. By contrast, Belarus records the highest, at 16.96. As for North Macedonia, 75% of its inhabitants nonetheless report feeling safe when walking alone at night.

Finland, Denmark, Switzerland… The countries where solo travel presents the least risk

Surrounded by a team of enthusiasts and drawing on the company’s long-standing expertise, the leader steers the business toward a decisively more immersive, human-centered, and time-conscious direction.

A Passionate Transmission and a Collaborative Project

Visit Europe’s history is rooted in the heart of the French tourism landscape since the early 1990s. After climbing through every rung of the company to eventually oversee its production and operations, Frédéric Brigand preserves the tour operator’s DNA and technical know-how. Accompanied by seasoned colleagues, he relaunched the activity within the framework of a CAPE with the aim of structuring the company as a SCOP. This cooperative model reflects a commitment to sharing decision-making on a human scale. The brand’s geographic footprint spans across Europe, relying on longstanding partners in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Scotland. This continuity allows the label to reconcile its emblematic itineraries with a renewed freedom granted to travelers.

Traveling Differently: The Art of Sensing Each Destination

Beyond mere contemplation of monuments, Visit Europe advocates experiential and emotional tourism. “I prefer taking the time to discover a region, to wander its streets, to dine at a local spot, and to chat with the locals,” explains Frédéric Brigand, the head of Visit Europe. To embody this philosophy, the company rolls out its Slow Collection, appealing to new generations of travelers while maintaining the loyalty of its long-time clientele. Whether it’s exceptional itineraries like Scotland by train, travels across Corsica by bike, or routes in Romania, the brand invites travelers to slow down. The moments of autonomy are enriched through partnerships such as the Guidly app, which turns each traveler’s smartphone into an intelligent tour guide. Unlike traditional audioguides, Guidly tailors its content to each person’s interests: history, architecture, gastronomy, art, nature… each audio commentary is generated specifically for them

An Inclusive Commitment and a Shared Ambition

Determined to open its journeys to a wider audience, the company continually adapts its offerings. Particular attention is given to accessibility: requests from people with disabilities are assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on their needs and the characteristics of each trip. By shaping modular, eco-friendly itineraries rooted in the regions, Visit Europe demonstrates that the future of travel lies in the ability to absorb places in a lasting way. “Visit Europe has almost forty years of history. Our ambition is not to erase it, but to write the next chapter: continue to help people discover Europe, perhaps more slowly, in order to discover it better.”

CroisiEurope

It wasn’t the country of honor this year, but it once again did honor to the IFTM fair with an impressive stand, a tangible sign of a substantial investment to win over an even wider audience of European travel professionals.

The Dominican Republic went all out. A multi-level stand, if you please, paired with the traditional gala dinner for tourism players in one of Paris’s most beautiful hotels.

It is David Collado, the Minister of Tourism himself, who, during this dinner, and as in previous years, hosted the evening with vibrant energy and the power of blue sea imagery and sunsets projected on a large screen and set to music.

The minister has finely honed his narrative of the country’s story, a tale somewhat romanticized, of this small nation that believed in its resources and gradually built a success, a solid tourism industry.

The images roll by, in pastel, faded tones of the first propeller-driven twin engine at Punta Cana airport, as well as a few small hotels, up to the large carriers arriving from around the world to let travelers enjoy the colorful landscapes and the most modern hotel infrastructures.

For several years, David Collado has ridden this flamboyant dynamic, this success of which he is one of the architects, turning him into a popular figure in his country and beyond.

The idea that, buoyed by this popularity, he could run in the next presidential elections in 2028 is increasingly taking shape.

When, in the course of a sentence in his speech during the dinner, he seemed to say that it was one of his final “performances,” some in the audience saw the beginning of a new adventure for this 50-year-old politician.

Dominican Republic: Air France Returns, ITA Arrives

For now, the minister and the Dominican tourism officials are campaigning to further strengthen the country’s positioning on the European market.

France, which remains among the top 10 source countries of visitors, plays a strategic role. In 2025, the Dominican Republic welcomed 132,747 foreign tourists residing in France.

In 2026, the market shows positive growth: from January to August, the country recorded 112,056 tourists from France, a rise of 14.3% compared with the same period in 2025, representing 14,039 additional visitors.

One of the main axes of the Dominican Republic’s participation in IFTM is the presentation of major innovations in air connectivity, which ease European travelers’ access to the country’s various destinations.

Air Caraïbes continues to strengthen its commitment by serving three Dominican airports: Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, and Samaná.

Added to this offering is Air France, which will reinforce the direct link between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Punta Cana starting November 30, 2026, at a rate of three flights per week.

Air France’s return, confirmed last year at this same IFTM fair, is crucial for the country and resulted from intense negotiations between the French carrier, the Dominican government, and a private Dominican business conglomerate “ Grupo Puntacana S.A ”, represented by its CEO Frank Elias Rainieri.

Significant concessions on fuel prices were reportedly offered to enable this return, allowing an effective reconnection of the island with Northern European markets.

To the south, Italy will also reconnect, enabling another significant step forward in the diversification strategy and strengthening the destination’s connectivity with Europe.

ITA Airways will launch on November 30, 2026 its new direct Rome-Fiumicino–Santo Domingo route, marking the arrival of the Italian carrier in the Caribbean.

The service will begin with a weekly flight, then increase to two flights per week from mid-December. These connections represent a meaningful advance in the strategy to diversify and strengthen the destination’s connectivity with Europe.

“We are also well connected in Spain to Madrid thanks to Iberia and Air Europa as well as in Germany to Frankfurt with Condor,” explained Jennifer Elias Franjul, Director of International Marketing at the Ministry of Tourism, who was at the fair.

Unblocking and Decentralizing Tourism

Beyond solid air connections, another challenge for “La Isla Bonita” is to diversify its tourism offerings and decentralize them.

Punta Cana, at the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, initially powered the destination’s success and has become one of the world’s most powerful beach hubs, with its stunning beaches and large resorts.

“The goal now is to value other parts of the island and other forms of tourism,” explains Jennifer Elias Franjul.

By establishing a presence in Santo Domingo and on the northern coast in Samaná, Air Caraïbes promotes a tourism focused on culture, gastronomy, and nature, with unique experiences such as whale watching in Samaná Bay.

Air Europa, which launched in 2024 service from Madrid to Santiago de los Caballeros, the country’s second city, renowned for its cultural identity, local life, and, among other things, the remarkable León Cultural Center, the largest in the Dominican Republic.

From this charming city, one can then access the slopes of the island’s northern range of mountains with lush greenery, agricultural lands offering numerous ecotourism opportunities and outdoor activities, and on the sea side, magnificent beaches with colorful and authentic seaside towns.

Roads, Airports: Major Works

To facilitate travel and land connectivity, the government has launched a massive program to develop road networks.

Unblocking, for example, the Southwest to open up the long-isolated region is one of the national goals. Thus, at the island’s opposite end, the beautiful Cabo Rojo region is getting a port that, in time, could accommodate 1 million cruise passengers per year. Roads are being improved and by 2027 a brand-new airport is expected to rise in Oviedo, located 15 minutes from the port.

Another diversification project that Jennifer Elias Franjul presented: to valorize the Miches region on the eastern coast, north of Punta Cana, and close to the airport, facing Samaná Bay.

A zone with enormous natural potential, beaches, mountains, and lagoons. A strategic region that will undoubtedly benefit from the arrival of the Air France flight in November and where Dominican authorities are investing heavily.

In December, they invited the tourism journalists association to discover Miches.

Google began rolling out, from September 8, 2026, new search results pages in Europe to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA). This development particularly affects searches related to hotels, flights and transportation.

Google is revising the visibility accorded to its services such as Google Shopping, Google Flights and Google Hotels, which had been privileged in the results compared to rivals.

The American group now foregrounds an aggregation unit aimed at online travel agencies, comparison engines and meta-searches, alongside a unit dedicated to direct suppliers. Eligible aggregators can thus display their results, including photos, prices and information about the establishments.

In parallel, some features are reduced. According to Reuters, the new results feature modules with fewer details, and real-time prices are no longer shown in certain carousels.

Google says these changes degrade the user experience and could favor comparison sites like Booking.com or Expedia at the expense of companies that only have a direct link.

This evolution comes after the €460 million fine imposed on Google in July by the European Commission for favoring its own services in search results. The group had 60 days to comply, under penalties that could reach up to 5% of its daily worldwide turnover.

Google says its previous DMA adaptations have already led to a 30% drop in free and direct traffic to European businesses.

Over nearly twenty years, Google has racked up €10.38 billion in antitrust fines in the EU, according to Reuters.

Atmosphere Core signe son entrée en Europe, monastère du XVIIIe siècle, photo by Atmosphere core

Costa Rica

Travelers seeking authenticity, wellness, and haute cuisine have found their new indispensable Italian destination.

Porté par la philosophie selon laquelle chaque pierre raconte une histoire, ce projet de réhabilitation redéfinit l’hospitalité haut de gamme en plein cœur de la province de Cuneo grâce à une collaboration étroite avec la Surintendance archéologie, beaux-arts et paysage.

The imminent opening on July 16 marks the official launch of Atmosphere Core’s first European address, which revives the soul of a village nearly forgotten through an exclusive offering of 25 rooms and suites, a spa area with a panoramic pool, a dining room crafted by a Michelin-starred chef, and a highly personalized guest experience provided by a dedicated host from the airport.

Led by Franco Giampetruzzi and Gian Maria Debenedetti, the project was conceived to meticulously respect the historical identity of the site.

The architectural direction has been entrusted to architect Stefano Tardito.

Salil Panigrahi, cofounder and CEO of Atmosphere Core, emphasizes that its opening is a particularly meaningful moment for them: “our long experience in international hospitality, combined with our global expansion strategy, has led us to establish important collaborations with European companies and prestigious Italian brands, culminating in the launch of our first destination in Europe and the second Heritage by Atmosphere property. ”

A Residential and Gastronomic Experience Crafted Without Compromise

The establishment offers an exclusive capacity of 25 rooms and suites, distributed evenly between the historic monastery building, where the old monastic cells have been repurposed while preserving original materials, and the Villa structure, which presents residential yet aristocratic and luminous elegance.

The pinnacle of the accommodation offering is the Prieur Room, a spacious apartment with interconnected rooms, perfectly suited for families or small groups.

For large events or exclusive weddings, the estate also provides the possibility of complete privatization, relying on spectacular outdoor spaces such as panoramic terraces, an infinity pool, and the Santuario della Madonna del Rosario dating from 1752 for religious ceremonies.

Gastronomy holds a central place in the experience thanks to Executive Chef Giorgio Servetto, proud of his previous Michelin distinctions.

In the restaurant housed within the old building, he offers a creative table that revisits Piedmontese culinary tradition, complemented by private dinners and immersive tastings in the village’s most history-laden spaces.

Wellness is not left out with a dedicated space comprising a panoramic pool offering sweeping views of the surrounding hills, a heated water cistern beneath vaulted ceilings, as well as a sauna and a sensory shower.

Finally, art and terroir exploration complete this exceptional stay. The village revives its cultural past by integrating works from 20th-century Piedmontese masters such as Eso Peluzzi and Claudio Bonichi, and by transforming the desacralized chapel into an elegant museum accessible by appointment.

From the moment of arrival at the airport, visitors are welcomed by a dedicated host and can enjoy a tailor-made programme of experiences ranging from truffle hunting to journeys by vintage car or Vespa through the vineyards.

The Danube apparently has not yet given up all of its secrets. This summer, the exceptional drop in its level revealed remnants that the waters usually conceal, offering locals as well as travelers a spectacle that is as fascinating as it is unsettling. On the Serbian banks, silhouettes of ships evoke, in particular, a particularly dark episode of World War II. But the wrecks are not the only vestiges that the river reveals today.

German ships scuttled since 1944

Near Prahovo, in eastern Serbia, at least 20 wrecks of German ships are currently visible from the banks. Some still bear rusted hulls and broken masts. They belonged to the German Black Sea fleet, part of which was deliberately scuttled at the end of World War II.

In the summer of 1944, as the Red Army advanced westward, around 200 German vessels became trapped in this region. The Danube then represented a possible route of retreat, but the Iron Gates sector, a narrow and difficult-to-navigate passage, formed a major obstacle. In September 1944, Rear Admiral Paul-Willy Zieb ordered the scuttling of more than 200 ships to prevent their capture and slow the Soviet advance.

Most have remained underwater for more than eight decades. And their presence poses a danger. Some wrecks may still contain weapons or explosives, which further complicates navigation. Serbia has thus initiated a program valued at 30 million euros to remove some of these remnants, but operations are complex due to munitions hazards.

For Kenneth Reece, who recently navigated the Danube, these wrecks add a new dimension to a journey already marked by the footprints of 20th-century conflicts. “History isn’t just in museums or monuments. A part of it is literally beneath our feet,” he explains to the BBC.

The drop in the river’s level, however, does not merely resurrect memories of the war.

Ancient remains and unexpected objects also appear

In Bulgaria, the retreat of the waters has allowed the exposure of the remains of an ancient bridge dating from the time of Emperor Constantine, near Gigen. Farther away, near Ryahovo, specialists recovered bones and mammoth tusks dating back several thousand years. The remains must be studied and could eventually join the collections of the Ruse Regional History Museum, located about 30 kilometers from where they were found.

Other discoveries are much more recent. In Budapest, a Wehrmacht motorcycle was revealed by the ebbing waters. In Slovakia, near Virt, a British bomb weighing about 700 kg was discovered before being neutralized by a controlled explosion.

For archaeologists, these periods of low water provide a rare opportunity to observe vestiges normally inaccessible. “This gives us a rare chance to observe them, document them and study them in their real environment,” says Pavel Popov, from the Pleven Regional History Museum, cited by Reuters.

A phenomenon increasingly frequent?

These discoveries, however, have another consequence, more immediate for travelers. The low flow has forced some cruise lines to alter their itineraries, move passengers between several ships, or even end certain trips by bus when the river was no longer deep enough.

The phenomenon could also become more frequent. According to the European Copernicus service on climate change, Europe is warming at a rate more than twice the global average. The rise in temperatures and the alteration of precipitation patterns particularly foster episodes of very low water levels.

For passengers navigating the Danube, the spectacle is thus as striking as it is unexpected. Suzanna Fulton, who recently traveled aboard the Viking Honir, sums up her experience as: “It was a humbling and, to be honest, pretty awesome,” she told the BBC. A tourist river can thus become, when its waters recede, a true window opened onto the buried traces of European history.

Omio Group annonce le projet d'acquisition de Rail Europe, image by OMIO

The Omio Group, a multimodal booking group, is launching a sector-wide consolidation phase by absorbing the Rail Europe platform on July 16, 2026.

Thanks to this merger, the newly formed group plans to sell 22 million train tickets per year and to collaborate with a network of more than 28,000 transport operators worldwide.

This transaction comes in a railway distribution market that is undergoing a restructuring, driven by European state investments in low-carbon transport infrastructure and the shift toward mobility alternatives to road and air travel.

Transaction details and operational organization

The integration of Rail Europe’s historic platform will allow the Omio Group to broaden its current offering, which already includes its consumer-facing B2C platform, its distribution service for professionals (B2B), as well as the Rome2Rio journey planner.

Rail Europe will retain its current brand identity with travelers and partners while migrating to Omio’s technological backbone and multimodal inventory. This technological transfer provides the acquirer with direct access to a network of travel agencies operating in more than 70 countries.

The operation will also lead to a reorganization of the company’s structures. The consolidated workforce is expected to reach approximately 680 employees worldwide, combining Omio’s teams with Rail Europe’s 205 staff.

However, the closing of the agreement remains subject to the regulatory information and consultation process with the bodies representing the staff, which must issue an advisory opinion on the project before any final signing.

BritRail Spirit of Scotland Pass (standard class only)

BritRail London Plus Pass

Most passes can be purchased in First or Second Class, with options for consecutive or flexible validity, as well as discounts for youths, seniors and children. Additional perks, such as 2-for-1 offers on certain attractions, are also available.

A strengthened B2B strategy driven by international demand

Rail Europe distributes a digital version of the pass, the M-Pass, via its B2B platforms, allowing agencies to manage both the booking and the activation days of travel thanks to a QR code. This mobile-first solution reduces operational complexity while preserving total flexibility for the final traveler.

With a growing international demand for Great Britain and a strong interest in destinations beyond London, Rail Europe believes that the BritRail Pass represents an important lever to develop international distribution and encourage rail itineraries across the entire British territory.

According to Björn Bender, CEO of Rail Europe, “The BritRail Pass strengthens our role as experts in European rail passes.

It complements our existing portfolio and enables our global business partners to build more flexible and higher-value itineraries in Great Britain, particularly in long-haul markets where regional exploration is becoming increasingly important.”
