1 mission of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Burkina Faso: Consulate of the United Kingdom in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Addresses…
Head of mission: Mr. Patrick de la Lande, Honorary Consul (as of 2010)
The United Kingdom is a prominent and diverse tourist destination, celebrated for its rich history, culture, and scenic landscapes. Although there has been a recent decline in visitor numbers, it still attracts considerable international interest, reflected in its substantial tourist revenue. It may appeal to a segment of Burkina Faso's population of 23 million.
The United Kingdom is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Burkina Faso. It ranks 34th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating a relatively peaceful environment. However, when it comes to safety while walking alone at night, the UK ranks 37th among 40 European countries, suggesting some concerns in this area. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in the UK is 1.0 per 100,000 people, slightly lower than Burkina Faso's rate of 1.3. The UK also has better rankings in various organized crime indices, particularly in state crime and resource crime, where it scores significantly better than Burkina Faso. Overall, while there are some safety considerations, the UK is safer than Burkina Faso in many respects, making it a viable destination for tourists.
