Frequently asked questions

How attractive is Brunei as a destination for visitors from Ireland?

Brunei, a small but luxurious sultanate on Borneo, offers a distinctive mix of cultural and natural attractions, including its stunning mosques and the tranquil Ulu Temburong National Park. While it may appeal to a segment of the 2.3 million Irish travelers who go abroad annually, its overall attractiveness as a destination for visitors from Ireland may be limited.

Please answer the following question: How safe is Brunei for tourists coming from Ireland?

Brunei is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Ireland. While there is limited specific data on safety in Brunei, the country has a low murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people, which is comparable to Ireland's rate of 0.4. However, it's important to note that female murder rates are higher in Brunei (1.2) compared to Ireland (0.3).

For instance, Brunei has a mafia group index of 1.0 (with 1 being the best), while Ireland scores 6.0.
