The United Kingdom is a prominent and diverse tourist destination, celebrated for its extensive history, culture, and natural beauty. Although there has been a recent decline in visitor numbers, it still attracts considerable international interest, reflected in its substantial tourist revenue. This makes it an appealing option for a segment of Suriname's population of approximately 1 million.
The safety of the United Kingdom for tourists from Suriname can be assessed through various crime statistics. The UK is ranked 37th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, indicating some concerns in this area. However, it holds a more favorable position at 34th among 160 countries in the Global Peace Index. In terms of murder rates, Suriname has a significantly higher rate of 5.7 per 100,000 people compared to the UK's rate of 1.0. Additionally, the rates for female murders are 2.3 in Suriname versus 0.6 in the UK. Regarding organized crime, the UK scores better in several categories, such as mafia groups (4.0) and state crime (3.0), compared to Suriname's scores of 2.5 and 8.0, respectively. However, the UK has higher scores in areas like foreign crime (8.0) and human trafficking (6.0). Overall, while the UK has some safety concerns, particularly at night, its overall crime rates, especially violent crime, are lower than those in Suriname, making it relatively safe for tourists.
