Congo offers rich landscapes and unique experiences, making it appealing for a segment of Lebanon's population of 6 million. However, its tourism industry is still developing, resulting in a modest number of foreign visitors each year.
Congo has a Global Peace Index ranking of 108th out of 160 countries, indicating a moderate level of safety, which is better than Lebanon's ranking of 132nd. While specific murder rates for Congo are not available, Lebanon has a murder rate of 1.9 per 100,000 people. In terms of organized crime, Lebanon generally scores worse than Congo across various categories. For example, mafia groups score 6.0 in Lebanon compared to 3.0 in Congo, and state crime scores 9.5 in Lebanon versus 8.0 in Congo. Overall, while Congo has its challenges, it may be considered relatively safer for tourists from Lebanon based on these indices. However, travelers should remain cautious and stay informed about local conditions.
