Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Bosnia and Herzegovina as a destination for visitors from New Zealand?
Bosnia and Herzegovina offers a unique blend of cultural and natural attractions, such as the historic bridges of Mostar and the stunning Dinaric Alps. While it attracts a modest number of international visitors annually, it could appeal to some of the 200,000 New Zealanders traveling abroad each year.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Bosnia and Herzegovina for tourists coming from New Zealand?
Bosnia and Herzegovina is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from New Zealand. It ranks 23rd out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, although specific data for New Zealand is not available. According to the Global Peace Index, Bosnia and Herzegovina is ranked 59th out of 160 countries, which indicates a level of safety that is lower than New Zealand's high ranking of 4th.
In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Bosnia and Herzegovina is 1.0 per 100,000 people, significantly lower than New Zealand's rate of 2.6. Female murder rates are also lower in Bosnia and Herzegovina (0.4) compared to New Zealand (1.1).
However, when examining organized crime, Bosnia and Herzegovina has higher indices for crime networks, state crime, and foreign crime compared to New Zealand. For example, the state crime index for Bosnia and Herzegovina is 8.0, while New Zealand's is 1.5.
Overall, while Bosnia and Herzegovina is relatively safe, tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions, as it does not match the safety levels of New Zealand.
