Please answer the following question: How safe is Belize for tourists coming from Australia?
Belize presents certain safety concerns for tourists, including those from Australia. While Australia ranks 19th in the Global Peace Index, Belize lacks a specific ranking. The murder rate in Belize is significantly higher at 31.2 per 100,000 people compared to Australia's 0.7. Additionally, female murder rates are also concerning, with Belize at 5.5 versus Australia's 0.4.
