00:00Planning a holiday? Here's how you're most likely to get scammed, depending on the destination.
00:10Fraud in popular tourism spots jumps by 28% during peak seasons,
00:16and the risk begins way before leaving home.
00:19Some examples, fake destination photos, broken confirmation links and bogus deals.
00:26Speaking of which, fraud rates in travel agencies and tour operators appear particularly significant,
00:33more than four times higher than the global average.
00:37Cities like Hong Kong, Delhi, Barcelona and Cancun are the most hit by these scams,
00:44which there represent around half or more of all travel frauds.
00:49Taxi and car rentals aren't immune either.
00:52Jakarta has the highest taxi fraud rate of all 17 cities analyzed, followed by Bangkok, Istanbul and London.
01:01Food scams also pose problems, you might pay for a meal that never arrives or get overcharged at a restaurant.
01:09And that is particularly true in American cities like LA and New York,
01:14where food scams represent respectively 75% and 63% of the total.
01:20On the bright side, booking flights and trains seems pretty safe across all surveyed cities,
01:26with scam rates generally below 10%.
01:30So you are still on the right side but not to get around 8%.
01:33The only obvious thing that you are missing is to be arrive at night to see the right side of the day.
01:35And that's why you are missing, you only have to worry about 5.
01:37So you go up to 5.
01:39Here you go to the picture that you have to enjoy.
