Belarus offers a blend of cultural and natural attractions that could appeal to Kazakh visitors. With 3.5 million Kazakhstanis traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Belarus an intriguing destination worth exploring.
Belarus has a mixed safety profile for tourists, particularly those coming from Kazakhstan. It ranks 38th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, indicating some concerns. The Global Peace Index places Belarus at 110th out of 160 countries, which is less safe compared to Kazakhstan, which ranks 57th. In terms of crime statistics, Belarus has a lower murder rate (2.4 per 100,000) compared to Kazakhstan (3.2), but the rates of female murders are slightly higher in Belarus (1.7) than in Kazakhstan (1.6). The Global Organized Crime Index shows that Kazakhstan generally fares better than Belarus across various crime categories, particularly in state crime, where Belarus scores significantly worse (9.0) compared to Kazakhstan (6.0). Overall, while Belarus is not the most dangerous destination, tourists from Kazakhstan should remain aware of their surroundings and exercise caution while traveling there.
