9. Dominican Republic

Score: 9

The Dominican Republic, occupying the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola, is known for its all-inclusive resorts, diverse landscapes, and vibrant culture. With a crime rate of 54.6 per 100,000 people, it has to offer pristine beaches, adventure activities, and historic landmarks. The Dominican Republic also offers opportunities for whale watching in Samaná Bay and exploring the natural wonders of Los Haitises National Park. The Colonial Zone in Santo Domingo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or hike to the summit of Pico Duarte, the Caribbean’s highest peak is certainly worth a visit but in better times.
