Benin offers a unique cultural experience and is enhancing its tourism infrastructure, making it increasingly appealing to visitors. The country has seen a significant increase in international tourist arrivals, indicating its growing attractiveness. A portion of Côte d'Ivoire's 28 million residents may find Benin to be an interesting destination.
Benin is generally considered safe for tourists, including those coming from Côte d'Ivoire. According to the Global Peace Index, Benin ranks 112th out of 160 countries, while Côte d'Ivoire is slightly better at 107th. The murder rate in Benin is low at 1.1 per 100,000 people, although data for Côte d'Ivoire is not available. In terms of organized crime, Benin scores better in several categories. For instance, mafia groups are rated 1.0 in Benin compared to 3.0 in Côte d'Ivoire. However, both countries face challenges with crime networks and state crime, with Côte d'Ivoire having slightly higher scores in these areas. Overall, while both countries have their issues, Benin is relatively safe for tourists.
