The reason that is leading the large number of tourists, both national and international, to give up on the wonderful city is security, or rather, the lack of it. But this was not the only point criticized by visitors.
Despite the unparalleled beauties, the home of the Christ the Redeemer has faced challenges regarding security, which leaves visitors vulnerable to crimes such as robbery and theft. The news of violence reaches the tourists, who end up rethinking the trip, as they fear for their physical integrity.
The result of this research reflects the concerns faced by the city in relation to violence and infrastructure. In addition to safety, issues such as communication, transportation and urban cleanliness can also negatively influence travelers.
But those who think that Rio de Janeiro was the only destination to receive negative reviews are mistaken, on the contrary. Famous cities like Lyon, in France, and Medellín, in Colombia, were also poorly evaluated by the travelers interviewed.
The main criticisms were about the lack of communication, which hindered experiences in tourist spots, restaurants and hotels. In general, underdeveloped countries did not do well in the eyes of respondents.
On the other hand, the best evaluated destinations were Toronto, Sydney, Edinburgh, Manchester and New York. One of the main reasons for this is that, as they are cities that have English as an official language, communication between the parties is facilitated.
For the interviewees, these destinations also stand out for offering peace of mind and security for tourists.
Although the results of this survey show the challenges faced by Rio de Janeiro, we must remember that the city continues to have a great tourist potential.
The numerous natural beauties, cultural assets and welcoming people are able to provide a unique experience for visitors and residents.
