Bangladesh presents an appealing option for some visitors from Myanmar, particularly those interested in its lush landscapes and diverse cultures. While it currently sees fewer tourist arrivals, it is gradually attracting attention from travelers seeking genuine cultural experiences and natural beauty. This makes it a potentially intriguing destination for a segment of Myanmar's 54 million Bamar population.
Bangladesh is generally considered safer for tourists compared to Myanmar. According to the Global Peace Index, Bangladesh ranks 91st out of 160 countries, while Myanmar ranks 145th. The murder rate in Bangladesh is significantly lower at 2.4 per 100,000 people, compared to Myanmar's 28.4. In terms of organized crime, Bangladesh has lower indices across several categories, indicating a relatively safer environment. For example, the index for mafia groups is 5.5 in Bangladesh compared to 9.0 in Myanmar, and for crime networks, both countries are at 5.5, but other categories like foreign crime show a stark difference with Bangladesh at 2.0 versus Myanmar's 7.5. While no country is without risks, the overall crime statistics suggest that Bangladesh is a safer destination for tourists coming from Myanmar.
