Finland offers a unique blend of stunning landscapes and rich culture, making it an appealing destination for some visitors from Vanuatu. Despite recent declines in tourist arrivals, its natural beauty and cultural experiences continue to attract interest among certain segments of the Ni-Vanuatu population.
Finland is considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Vanuatu. It ranks 8th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night and 13th out of 160 countries globally according to the Global Peace Index. In terms of crime statistics, Finland has a murder rate of 1.6 per 100,000 people, compared to Vanuatu's very low rate of 0.3. While Finland has higher murder rates than Vanuatu, it still maintains a relatively low level of violent crime overall. Regarding organized crime, Finland scores higher than Vanuatu in various categories, but both countries exhibit low levels of organized crime, with Vanuatu generally scoring better on the index. Overall, tourists from Vanuatu can feel secure while visiting Finland, although they should remain aware of their surroundings, as with any travel destination.
