Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to travel to Reunion in 2026?

Yes, but with caution — Reunion is moderately safe: as of July 2026 it scores 5.4/10 on our daily safety index, classified as Moderate risk. Most trips are trouble-free, but some risks deserve attention.

The score is an uncertainty-weighted (Bayesian shrinkage) geometric mean of five pillars — conflict (30%), crime (25%), health (20%), governance (15%) and environment (10%) — combined with a calibrated consensus of government travel advisories, so a weak pillar drags the overall score down more than a strong one lifts it, and thin or stale data pulls a country's score toward a cautious regional baseline rather than guessing. conflict (5.5/10) is Reunion's strongest pillar, while the score is pulled down by health (4.4/10) and above all by crime (4.4/10).

This pillar reflects violent crime, theft and organized criminal activity — a low score calls for extra street awareness, especially outside the main tourist areas. It is recalculated every day from public sources including government travel advisories, the Global Peace Index, the INFORM Risk Index and World Bank indicators.
