1 mission of Central African Republic in Portugal: Consulate of the Central African Republic in Lisbon, Portugal. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Manuel José Leote Pires, Honorary Consul (as of 2010)
The Central African Republic offers a unique blend of natural and cultural attractions, making it potentially appealing to some Portuguese travelers. Although it has a limited number of hotels compared to global standards, it stands out in the luxury accommodation sector. With around 1 million Portuguese traveling abroad annually, a segment of this population may find the Central African Republic an intriguing destination.
The safety of the Central African Republic (CAR) for tourists, including those from Portugal, is a significant concern. While Portugal ranks 7th in the Global Peace Index and has a low murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people, CAR is ranked 147th out of 160 countries, with a much higher murder rate of 20.1 per 100,000 people. Additionally, crime statistics indicate that CAR faces serious challenges with organized crime, with high indices in various categories, such as mafia groups (9.0) and crime networks (8.0), compared to Portugal's much lower scores (4.5 and 6.0, respectively). Overall, due to high crime rates and instability, the Central African Republic is not considered a safe destination for tourists from Portugal. Travelers are advised to exercise caution and stay informed about the current situation before considering travel to CAR.
