Well, the French Polynesia is actually a territory of France, but it's actually good since they're still visiting new places.

Adding up to safety, I think one thing the production team has to also look for in order for a country to be visited is the weather and the climate in the area, as this can affect the accessibility to the country. I also think this is one reason why The Amazing Race has never visited my home country, the Philippines, for a very long time (only visit was in Season 5) as it is very prone to natural calamities and disasters, like typhoons.

I wish The Amazing Race will often visit countries that has never been visited before (or at least never visited for a long time) as there are a lot of undiscovered cultures that is worth experiencing.
