WORLD'S MOST REPUTABLE COUNTRIES 2016

If we have a change to migrate or visit a country. We choose a place which we believe is beautiful, peaceful and safe. What we believe about a place can often be more powerful than what is a reality. A reputation of a country can influence everything from foreign policy to foreign investment – to whether or not people want to visit or live there. In a study conducted by Reputation Institute, a consultant and advisory firm specializing in reputation, they measured 16 different factors – including being a beautiful and safe place to visit, and having friendly and welcoming residents, progressive policies and an effective government. This was conducted via online survey with more than 48,000 resident in the G8 countries, representing the world’s eight leading industrialized nations.
