Benin offers a unique cultural experience and is enhancing its tourism infrastructure, making it increasingly appealing to international visitors. The recent surge in tourist arrivals indicates growing interest in the country. As such, it could attract a segment of Malaysia's population of 34 million.
Benin is generally considered less safe for tourists compared to Malaysia. According to the Global Peace Index, Benin ranks 112th out of 160 countries, while Malaysia ranks significantly higher at 10th. The murder rate in Benin is 1.1 per 100,000 people, compared to Malaysia's low rate of 0.7. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Malaysia has better scores across various crime categories. For instance, mafia groups score 4.5 in Malaysia versus 1.0 in Benin, and crime networks score 5.5 in Malaysia compared to 6.0 in Benin. While both countries face challenges with organized crime, Malaysia generally has a more favorable safety profile for tourists.
