Cyprus offers a unique blend of cultural heritage and strategic location in the Mediterranean, making it an appealing destination for some of Suriname's population of 1 million. Its rich tourism dynamics and role as a hub for international travel enhance its attractiveness to visitors from Suriname.
Cyprus is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Suriname. It ranks 11th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. However, it is important to note that there are no specific safety data available for tourists from Suriname. In terms of crime statistics, Cyprus has a significantly lower murder rate of 1.3 per 100,000 people compared to Suriname's 5.7. The Global Peace Index ranks Cyprus 86th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively peaceful environment. Regarding organized crime, Cyprus has lower indices in several categories compared to Suriname, particularly in mafia presence and resource crime, suggesting a safer environment overall. While there are some crime concerns, particularly related to foreign crime and human smuggling, the overall safety profile of Cyprus is favorable for tourists.
