The 10 cheapest, and 10 most expensive, countries to visit in 2025

With “recession” on the lips of many U.S. economists — including a recent prediction by JP Morgan due to tariffs – it might be time to start rethinking those vacation plans.

Farewell, Hawaii and the Seychelles. Hello, uh, Burkina Faso and Kazakhstan? (Borat voice: Very nice!)

The financial-comparison company HelloSafe has put together a ranking of the world’s most affordable countries to visit this year. Using date from places like Kayak.com and Booking.com, the ranking includes estimated travel budgets that dip as low as $15 per day.

One hitch: Some of these countries are now on the U.S. State Department’s travel-advisory list, so make sure to check with the government (travel.state.gov) before venturing out to explore, say, Myanmar or Mali.

Without ado, here are the 10 cheapest countries and, just for fun, the 10 most expensive:
