Australia is an appealing destination for some Romanian visitors due to its breathtaking landscapes and diverse tourism experiences. The country’s combination of natural wonders and lively cities attracts millions of tourists annually. Given that 11.6 million Romanians travel abroad each year, a portion of them may find Australia to be an intriguing option.
Australia is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Romania. According to the Global Peace Index, Australia ranks 19th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety, while Romania ranks 36th. In terms of crime statistics, Australia has a lower murder rate at 0.7 per 100,000 people compared to Romania's 1.3. Additionally, the rates of female murders are also lower in Australia (0.4) than in Romania (0.8). While both countries face organized crime, Australia has a slightly higher index for mafia groups and crime networks, but it fares better in terms of state crime and human trafficking. Overall, tourists from Romania can expect a safe experience in Australia, with lower violent crime rates and a generally peaceful environment.
