Ghana offers a vibrant cultural experience and diverse landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Ethiopians. The country's tourism assets attract a steady stream of international visitors, supported by initiatives to boost its global visibility and promote cultural exchange. Thus, it could be an interesting option for a segment of Ethiopia's 123 million population.
Ghana is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Ethiopia. According to the Global Peace Index, Ghana ranks 54th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety compared to Ethiopia, which ranks 142nd. In terms of crime rates, Ghana has a significantly lower murder rate of 1.8 per 100,000 people, compared to Ethiopia's rate of 8.8. Additionally, the rate of female murders in Ghana is notably low at 0.6. While both countries face challenges related to organized crime, Ghana's indices are generally more favorable. For instance, Ghana scores 3.0 for mafia groups compared to Ethiopia's 2.0, and both countries have the same score of 6.5 for crime networks. However, Ghana tends to have higher scores in areas like state crime (7.5) and resource crime (7.5). Overall, while no destination is without risks, Ghana is regarded as a safer option for tourists compared to Ethiopia.
