Fiji is an appealing destination for some Sri Lankan travelers due to its stunning natural beauty and rich culture. With approximately 300,000 Sri Lankans traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Fiji an attractive option for their travels.
Fiji is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Sri Lanka. While Sri Lanka ranks 99th in the Global Peace Index, Fiji does not have a specific ranking available. In terms of murder rates, Fiji has a lower rate at 2.2 per 100,000 people compared to Sri Lanka's 3.5. Regarding organized crime, Fiji scores better in several categories. For instance, the mafia group index is 1.0 for Fiji (best) versus 4.0 for Sri Lanka. However, Fiji has higher scores in crime networks (6.5) and human trafficking (5.0) compared to Sri Lanka. Overall, while both countries face challenges, Fiji presents a relatively safer environment for tourists, particularly in terms of violent crime. Visitors should still exercise standard precautions while traveling.
