France is a top global tourism destination, attracting millions of visitors annually. While it may appeal to a segment of Indonesian travelers, only a portion of the 500,000 Indonesians who travel abroad each year are likely to choose France as their destination.
France is generally safe for tourists, including those from Indonesia, but there are some considerations. According to safety rankings, France is 40th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. In terms of global safety, France ranks 84th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, compared to Indonesia, which is ranked 47th. Regarding crime statistics, the murder rate in France is 1.1 per 100,000 people, while Indonesia has a significantly lower rate of 0.6. Additionally, various organized crime indices show that both countries have similar scores in certain areas, but France has a higher risk for state crime and foreign crime compared to Indonesia. Overall, while France has its challenges, it remains a popular destination for tourists, and with standard precautions, visitors can enjoy their stay safely.
