CNN
Asian cities like Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka formerly occupied the top spots in the Economist's annual list of safe destinations, but Covid has turned the world on its head. Now a European city leads the pack in terms of resilience, security and wellbeing.
(CNN) — Safety has long been a paramount concern for travelers when it comes to deciding which destination to visit.
But the world has been turned on its head in recent years due to the global pandemic and the notion of exactly what makes somewhere "safe" has changed significantly.
This may help to explain the shake up at the top of the Economist Intelligence Unit's Safe Cities Index (SCI,) which ranks 60 international destinations on digital security, health security, infrastructure, personal security, as well as environmental security, a new category for this year.
