The Dominican Republic is an appealing destination for some Cuban visitors, thanks to its rich natural beauty and cultural heritage. Annually, around 300,000 Cubans travel abroad, and a portion of them may choose to explore this vibrant country, which significantly benefits from tourism in its economy.
The Dominican Republic is relatively safe for tourists coming from Cuba, with a Global Peace Index ranking of 95th compared to Cuba's 96th. However, the murder rate in the Dominican Republic is higher at 10.5 per 100,000 people, compared to Cuba's 5.0. In terms of organized crime, both countries have challenges, but the Dominican Republic scores slightly worse in several categories, including crime networks and drug trafficking. For example, the Dominican Republic has a score of 8.0 for cocaine trade, while Cuba scores 4.0. Overall, while both countries have their safety concerns, the Dominican Republic is comparable to Cuba in terms of overall safety for tourists, but visitors should remain vigilant and informed about local conditions.
