Chile boasts a vibrant tourism sector characterized by stunning natural landscapes, cultural richness, and varied experiences, making it an appealing destination for international travelers. Its diverse attractions, ranging from the Atacama Desert to Patagonia, may attract a segment of Zambia's 20 million population.
Chile is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Zambia. According to the Global Peace Index, Chile ranks 62nd out of 160 countries, while Zambia is ranked slightly higher at 55th. In terms of crime statistics, Chile has a murder rate of 3.6 per 100,000 people, which is lower than Zambia's rate of 5.4. Additionally, the rate of female murders in Chile is 0.7, while data for Zambia is not available. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that while both countries face challenges, Chile has a slightly better standing in terms of organized crime, with lower indices in several categories such as state crime (Chile 4.5 vs. Zambia 6.0) and resource crime (Chile 2.0 vs. Zambia 5.5). However, Chile does have higher indices for cocaine (7.0) and cannabis trade (6.5) compared to Zambia. Overall, while both countries have their safety concerns, tourists from Zambia can expect a relatively safe experience in Chile, with lower murder rates and better organized crime indices in several areas.
