The World Economic Forum ranked 136 countries in its biennial report on tourism with a security section.

The list does not take petty crime into account and instead focuses on the security risks of serious harm (violence and terrorism).
The report ranked Finland as the safest country in the world, while Colombia was ranked as the safest.

The index measures world peace using three main themes: the level of security and safety in society, the scale of domestic and international conflicts, and the degree of militarization.
