Georgia offers a compelling mix of natural beauty and rich culture, making it an appealing destination for some Icelandic travelers. With around 100,000 Icelanders traveling abroad each year, a portion may find Georgia to be an intriguing choice for their travels.
Georgia is generally considered safe for tourists, but it does have a higher crime rate compared to Iceland. While Iceland ranks 3rd in safety among European countries, Georgia is ranked 98th out of 160 countries according to the Global Peace Index. In terms of murder rates, Iceland has a significantly lower rate at 0.5 per 100,000 people, compared to Georgia's rate of 1.9. For female murders, Iceland's rate is 0.6, while Georgia's is 1.2. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Iceland scores better across various crime categories, with lower indices indicating less organized crime and state crime. For example, Iceland's mafia groups score 4.5 compared to Georgia's 2.5, and for human trafficking, Iceland scores 4.0 while Georgia scores 3.5. Overall, while Georgia is relatively safe for tourists, visitors should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard safety precautions.
