1 mission of Barbados in Israel: Consulate of Barbados in Tel Aviv, Israel. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Jonathan Ben-Cnaan, Honorary Consul (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Barbados, 28 Nov 2024)
Barbados is an appealing destination for Israeli travelers, featuring beautiful beaches, a vibrant culture, and a developing tourism infrastructure. Despite a recent decline in foreign visitors, the island's high tourist spending per arrival indicates the quality of experiences available. With approximately 3 million Israelis traveling abroad annually, a segment of them may find Barbados an attractive option.
Barbados is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Israel, but it is important to be aware of certain safety statistics. According to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Barbados has a higher murder rate of 11.4 per 100,000 people compared to Israel's 1.9. Additionally, while both countries face organized crime, Barbados has a slightly better score in mafia presence (5.0) compared to Israel (5.5), and lower scores in various crime categories, indicating a moderate level of organized crime activity. Overall, tourists should exercise standard safety precautions while visiting Barbados, as they would in any destination.
