Head of mission: Mr. Christian Nicholas Stadil, Honorary Consul (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Bhutan, 28 Nov 2024)
Bhutan is an appealing destination for some Danish travelers due to its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural scenery. Although it attracts a modest number of international tourists, the kingdom stands out for its commitment to environmental preservation and cultural authenticity. With 3.2 million Danes traveling abroad annually, there is potential interest among them in exploring Bhutan.
Bhutan is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Denmark. While Denmark ranks 6th in safety among European countries for walking alone at night, there is no specific data for Bhutan in this regard. However, Bhutan holds a respectable position in the Global Peace Index, ranking 21st out of 160 countries, though it is not as safe as Denmark, which ranks 8th. In terms of crime statistics, Denmark has a lower murder rate at 0.8 per 100,000 people compared to Bhutan's 2.5. Additionally, the rates of female murders are also lower in Denmark (0.5) than in Bhutan (1.4). According to the Global Organized Crime Index, Bhutan scores slightly lower than Denmark in various crime categories, indicating a moderate level of organized crime. For example, Bhutan has a score of 4.0 for mafia groups compared to Denmark's 5.0, and it fares better in arms trafficking (2.0 for Bhutan vs. 4.0 for Denmark). Overall, while Bhutan is relatively safe, it is advisable for Danish tourists to remain vigilant and take standard precautions while traveling.
