With 5 million Canadians traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Bhutan to be an intriguing option.
Bhutan is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Canada. According to the Global Peace Index, Bhutan ranks 21st out of 160 countries, while Canada ranks 11th, indicating that both countries are relatively safe, though Canada is slightly safer. In terms of crime statistics, Bhutan has a murder rate of 2.5 per 100,000 people, compared to Canada's rate of 2.1. For female murders, Bhutan's rate is 1.4, while Canada's is 1.0. The Global Organized Crime Index shows Bhutan has lower scores in several categories compared to Canada, suggesting a lower prevalence of organized crime. However, Bhutan scores higher in flora and fauna crime, indicating some specific challenges in those areas. Overall, while Bhutan is safe for tourists, it's important for visitors to remain vigilant and informed about local conditions.
