In the US, the only major tourist destinations that I can think of that are relatively dangerous would be New Orleans and Miami. There are more dangerous places, like Gary, Indiana, East St. Louis, etc. But they aren't tourist destinations. Now that I think about it, Orlando has had a huge increase in violent crime over the past few years. There are bodies found all over the place there every week.

BEWARE of gold diggers.

... South Central in LA, Oakcliff in Dallas, Lakewod Heights in Atlanta, southeast Houston?

I'm fairly certain that none of the destinations on that list would qualify, in anyone's book, as "toursim destinations" - unless you work for Blackwater. ;)

I wonder how the hell happened Haiti is not a tourist destination, slguy... it is just absurd if you think about it. Not even Castro did that to Cuba, which remains a main tourist destination in spite of all the international problems.

Tourists actually DO go to Haiti.

I remember a friend of mine on a Caribbean cruise got off the boat for the shore tour advertised as "Hispañola" and found out she was in Haiti.

That article is silly, though. Real danger is so situational that it's ridiculous to list a "top ten" of dangerous countries. You might have the most hair-raising experience of your life in any number of places, or find yourself in heaven. The two are rarely so far apart.
