On Tuesday the newspaper released a series of graphics that remap the world in a wide range of perspectives, from gun ownership, energy consumption and criminal executions, to happiness, obesity and Miss World competitions.

Viet Nam was one of the few countries listed as "safe to visit”.

Asian neighbours such as India, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Thailand were considered 'not completely safe', with the U.K.’s Foreign Office advising against traveling to parts of these countries.

The report named Viet Nam, together with Japan, Bolivia, Ecuador and five European countries, as destinations with a “low” terror threat. More than 30 countries received a 'high' terror threat rating, including holiday favorites such as Spain and France, as well as popular Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines and Thailand.

According to the Institute for Economics and Peace, there are only 10 countries in the world that are free from conflict right now, and Viet Nam is one of them.

Thanks to other strengths such as its delicious food and beautiful beaches, Viet Nam is becoming an increasingly popular destination, with foreign visitor numbers hitting a record high of more than 10 million in 2016, up 26% from the previous year.

Nearly 255,000 of them arrived from the U.K., up 20% from 2015. Tourists from the U.K. can now visit Viet Nam for 15 days without a visa.
