The way to protect yourself against attacks like this is to greatly reduce the probability of being attacked. Granted, you can be attacked anywhere (Yosemite, the Appalachian Trail) for any reason or for seemingly no reason -- but choose a place for vacation where such attacks are very low probability -- Yosemite and the Appalachian Trail, despite one case each (as far as I remember), qualify.

You could try Travel SE, but recast the question, such as: I am a citizen of X country, and a woman. (You should specify your sex.) I enjoy spectacular, remote places to travel alone or with one other person [specify sex], including hiking and camping. This article [the one you linked in the question you just posted] makes me concerned about safety. I can't afford private tourist guides, and I dislike travelling in a group. How do I find out what areas to avoid to minimize an attack like the one in the above link?

You might want to add that TGO didn't have answers about what to do to protect yourself in the event of an attack.

  Nice answer. I feel sorry for these girls. They died for nothing. They didn't do anything wrong. She was alive when they decapitated her and slowly with a kitchen knife!. These people are sick and worst than animals. I cried after reading it. They shared a video of decapitating her. I cannot even imagine the trauma their parents went through. @ab2
