Ranked among the safest destinations to travel to in mid-February 2021, two weeks after the launch of its vaccination campaign, Morocco has since moved by four spots and now holds the 5th place in the Tourlane ranking, ahead of New Zealand, Iceland and Zimbabwe, according to Tourlane's ranking of safest destinations, unveiled on Monday.

In addition, Morocco is for the third consecutive week the only other North African country to be part of the ranking with Egypt, underlines the study conducted in collaboration with Johann Jones, former deputy director of NATO, now security advisor at Tourlane.

The survey includes destinations from around the world currently or to be soon available to travelers, and takes into account various criteria such as the 14-day notification rate of Covid-19 cases and the International Health Regulations (RSI) scores.
