Head of mission: Mr Jean Omer Mpeho, Honorary Consul (as of 2015)
Congo offers a unique allure for British travelers, featuring rich landscapes and a largely unexplored environment. Although its tourism sector is still developing, it could attract a segment of the 19.1 million Britons who travel abroad each year.
Congo presents certain safety challenges for tourists from the United Kingdom. While the UK ranks 34th in the Global Peace Index and has a low murder rate of 1.0 per 100,000 people, Congo is ranked 108th out of 160 countries, indicating a less safe environment. Although specific murder rates for Congo are not available, the Global Organized Crime Index suggests a higher level of organized crime and state crime in Congo compared to the UK. For example, Congo has a state crime index of 8.0, indicating significant issues in this area, while the UK scores a much lower 3.0. Overall, while travel to Congo is possible, tourists should exercise caution and stay informed about the local situation.
