Georgia is an appealing destination for some Sri Lankan travelers, thanks to its natural beauty and rich culture. Despite recent fluctuations in international visitor numbers, the country's charm continues to attract a diverse range of tourists. With around 300,000 Sri Lankans traveling abroad annually, a portion of them may find Georgia to be an interesting option.
Georgia is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Sri Lanka. According to the Global Peace Index, Georgia ranks 98th out of 160 countries, closely following Sri Lanka, which ranks 99th. In terms of crime statistics, Georgia has a lower murder rate at 1.9 per 100,000 people compared to Sri Lanka's 3.5. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Georgia at 1.2 and Sri Lanka at 2.2. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Georgia has a better standing in various crime categories. For instance, mafia groups score 2.5 in Georgia versus 4.0 in Sri Lanka, and the state crime index is 3.0 for both, but Georgia shows lower scores in human trafficking (3.5 vs. 5.5) and drug-related crimes. Overall, while both countries have their challenges, Georgia appears to be a safe destination for Sri Lankan tourists.
