1 mission of Bangladesh in Jamaica: Consulate of Bangladesh in Kingston, Jamaica. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Michael Subratie, Honorary Consul (as listed in the diplomatic list of Jamaica, 1 Jul 2024)
Bangladesh boasts lush landscapes and a diverse cultural heritage, making it an intriguing destination for some Jamaicans. Although it currently ranks low in tourist arrivals, the country is gradually attracting travelers interested in authentic cultural experiences and natural beauty. Thus, it may appeal to a segment of Jamaica's 3 million residents.
Bangladesh is relatively safe for tourists, including those from Jamaica. According to the Global Peace Index, Bangladesh ranks 91st out of 160 countries, while Jamaica is slightly better at 89th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Bangladesh is significantly lower at 2.4 per 100,000 people compared to Jamaica's 52.1. Regarding organized crime, Bangladesh has lower indices for mafia groups (5.5 vs. Jamaica's 8.0) and crime networks (5.5 vs. 7.5). However, it is worth noting that Bangladesh has higher human trafficking rates (8.0) compared to Jamaica (5.0). Overall, while both countries face challenges, Bangladesh presents a safer environment for tourists when considering these statistics.
