I have the following code:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import '../styles/CountryDetails.css';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import { IconContext } from 'react-icons';
import { GoArrowRight } from 'react-icons/go';
import { FaPlane } from 'react-icons/fa';

class CountryDetails extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {
            countryData: props.countryData
        }
    }

    render() {
        console.log(this.state.countryData);
        return (
            <div>
                <h1 className="display-3 text-center my-5">{this.state.countryData.countryClassification}</h1>
                    <div className="CountryDetail">

                        <div className="cards shadow-1 container">
                            <div className="row vertical-align">
                                <div className="col-2 text-center">
                                    <IconContext.Provider value={{ color: '#A9A9A9', className: 'icon-hover icon-size'}}>
                                        <div>
                                            <FaPlane />
                                        </div>
                                    </IconContext.Provider>
                                </div>
                                <div className="col-8">
                                    <h4>Airfare | Car Rental | Hotel Booking Site</h4>
                                    {this.state.countryData.topAirfareCarRentalHotelBookingSite1 ? null : <span className="category-status">Under Construction...</span>}
                                </div>
                                <div className="col-2 text-center">
                                    <IconContext.Provider value={{ className: 'show-hover icon-arrow-size'}}>
                                        <div>
                                            <GoArrowRight />
                                        </div>
                                    </IconContext.Provider>
                                </div>
                            </div>
                            <Link to={`/country/${this.state.countryData.countryAndTerriority}/topAirfareCarRentalHotelBookingSite1`} />
                        </div>
                    </div>
            </div>
        )
    }
}

export default CountryDetails;

This is what I get:

enter image description here

Right now, my URL link is showing http://localhost:8080/country/Afghanistan/. When I click on the rectangle box, I expect my URL link to update to http://localhost:8080/country/Afghanistan/topAirfareCarRentalHotelBookingSite1 and it will show up a different component.

For some reason, I cannot make this div clickable and the URL does not change when I click on it. Am I using this code

<Link to={`/country/${this.state.countryData.countryAndTerriority}/topAirfareCarRentalHotelBookingSite1`} />

wrong or putting it in the wrong place?

have you tried to put the div inside the link ? 

<Link to = "yourURL" >
   <div></div>
</Link>

Your code syntax is wrong. Wrap the div tag with the Link tag

<Link to ='...'><div>....</div></Link>

As an alternative to the other answers, you can use a functional component and do something like this:

import React, { useCallback } from 'react'
import { useHistory } from 'react-router-dom'

export default ({ countryData }) => {

    const history = useHistory()
    const onClick = useCallback(() => {
        const to = `/country/${countryData?.countryAndTerriority}/topAirfareCarRentalHotelBookingSite1`
        history.push(to)
    },[countryData, history])

    return (
        <div onClick={onClick}>
            {'Your content here'}
        </div>
    )

}

EDIT:

I think this is the best approach in your case, you don't really need a state for this component, because you already have the props.
