TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - With the holiday season just around the corner, many travelers prioritize safety and serenity when planning their year-end trips. Book Retreats has named New Zealand one of the best holiday destinations, highlighting its exceptional safety and serenity.
The global online travel agency noted that these countries not only offer exciting tourist attractions but also prioritize safety and security, fostering a peaceful environment for visitors.
New Zealand, the only Oceania country on the list, achieved a fourth-place ranking with a Global Peace Index (GPI) of 1.323. The country's high ranking is attributed to a combination of friendly locals, a stable government, and a diverse environment.
The country's strong emphasis on preserving natural environments and national parks provides plenty of pleasant spaces away from the bustling modernity.
According to Book Retreats, New Zealand is 20 times less crowded than other popular destinations like the Philippines, with only 19 people per square kilometer. This allows tourists to engage in a peaceful paradise, which makes their trips more convenient, secure, and worry-free.
Moreover, New Zealand secures a fifth-place ranking among the most relaxing destinations with a score of 69.3. Its ideal scores in factors like tranquility, population density, noise and light pollution, traffic, nature, and wellness make the country the perfect serene getaway.
Start planning your trip to New Zealand and immerse yourself in its breathtaking natural beauty! Explore more about the most peaceful countries in the world.
