The Gambia is an appealing destination for a segment of Bangladesh's 171 million population, offering a vibrant mix of culture and natural beauty. Its sun-kissed beaches and lush landscapes attract hundreds of thousands of international visitors each year, making it a noteworthy entry point into West Africa.
Gambia is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Bangladesh. According to the Global Peace Index, Gambia ranks 81st out of 160 countries, which is better than Bangladesh's ranking of 91st. While specific murder rates for Gambia are not available, Bangladesh has a murder rate of 2.4 per 100,000 people. In terms of organized crime, Gambia shows lower indices for mafia groups (1.0) compared to Bangladesh (5.5), indicating a lesser presence of such groups. However, Gambia has higher scores for crime networks (6.5) and human trafficking (7.0) than Bangladesh (5.5 and 8.0, respectively), suggesting some areas of concern. Overall, while Gambia presents some risks, it is relatively safer than Bangladesh according to various crime indices. Tourists should remain vigilant and take standard safety precautions while traveling.
