The government advisory system evaluates a range of risks, including crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health threats, and natural disasters.
The State Department reviews Level 1 and 2 advisories annually, while Level 3 and 4 warnings are reassessed every six months.
According to a department statement, "A Travel Advisory will also be updated anytime there is a change in US government posture, normally as it relates to ongoing security concerns."
Understanding the Advisory System
Which Countries Are Impacted?
The 23 nations now under a Level 3 travel advisory include:
In addition, the Turks and Caicos Islands have been elevated to a Level 2 advisory due to a rise in violent crime, including incidents targeting tourists.
With spring break approaching, the State Department urges travelers to stay alert and review official advisories before finalizing travel plans.
Anyone know why PNG is on the list? Are the Japanese on the Kokoda track again?
You don’t need to provide me a travel advisory to know to avoid those $hitholes.
Futz, a lot of my favorite coffee-producing countries are on the list.
I don’t know why Macau is under this advisory. I’ve been there and it’s a nice place next to Hongkong. Sort of the Las Vegas of China.

New York City?
Take it from this New Yorker…
New York City remains one of the world’s top tourist destinations. In fact, 2025 is expected to be the busiest year yet for tourism in NYC, with projections indicating that visitor numbers will surpass pre-pandemic levels.
In 2023, the city welcomed over 50 million DOMESTIC visitors and 12 million international visitors. The number of international visitors is expected to increase to close to 15 million by 2025.
All these despite the subway incidents being reported in the papers….
