Eritrea offers a distinctive experience for travelers seeking authenticity and historical richness rather than luxury. Located on Africa's northeastern coast, it features a modest yet promising tourism sector. While it may appeal to a niche group of Canadian travelers, given that 5 million Canadians travel abroad annually, some may find Eritrea an intriguing destination.
Eritrea's safety for tourists, particularly those from Canada, is a concern. According to the Global Peace Index, Eritrea ranks 134th out of 160 countries, significantly lower than Canada's 11th place. While specific murder rates for Eritrea are not available, Canada's murder rate is 2.1 per 100,000 people. In terms of organized crime, Canada generally has better indices across various categories. For example, state crime in Eritrea is rated at 9.5 (on a scale where 1 is best and 10 is worst), while Canada's rating is 2.0. Additionally, human trafficking and smuggling in Eritrea are rated at 9.0 and 9.5, respectively, compared to Canada's much lower ratings of 3.5 and 4.0. Overall, while Eritrea has some low scores in certain crime areas, the high ratings for state crime and human trafficking suggest that it may not be as safe as Canada for tourists. Caution is advised for those considering travel to Eritrea.
