Only 33 percent worried about theft or robberies, and 28 percent about terror threats.

“Swedish travellers tend to worry more about everyday events such as getting sick or getting their passport or wallet stolen, rather than the very low risk of being exposed to a terror attack,” said Ticket press officer Katarina Daniels.
More women than men worry about terror threats, she said: 33 and 24 percent, respectively.
Ten percent of the 1,000 respondents said they had no worries at all.
