Georgia can be considered relatively safe for tourists coming from Malta, though there are some differences in crime statistics to note. Malta ranks 26th in safety among 40 European countries for walking alone at night, while Georgia is ranked 98th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating some safety concerns. In terms of murder rates, Malta has a significantly lower rate at 0.4 per 100,000 people compared to Georgia's 1.9. Additionally, Malta reports no female murders, whereas Georgia has a rate of 1.2. When looking at organized crime, Malta generally has lower indices across various categories compared to Georgia. For instance, Malta scores 1.5 for mafia groups, while Georgia scores 2.5. However, both countries face challenges with crime networks and drug trafficking, with Georgia having lower scores in some areas, indicating less organized crime activity compared to Malta. Overall, while Georgia presents some safety challenges, it remains a popular destination for tourists, and with standard precautions, visitors from Malta can have a safe experience.
