1 mission of Guatemala in Monaco: Consulate of Guatemala in Monaco. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Roland Melean, Honorary Consul (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Monaco, 27 Nov 2024)
Guatemala offers a unique blend of cultural richness and geographical diversity, making it an intriguing destination for some Monégasques. The country is known for its remarkable Mayan sites, such as Tikal, and the vibrant colonial architecture of Antigua, attracting cultural explorers interested in ancient civilizations. While the overall number of foreign visitors is moderate, there is potential appeal for a segment of Monaco's population.
Guatemala presents certain safety concerns for tourists, including those from Monaco. The Global Peace Index ranks Guatemala 115th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively low level of safety. Crime statistics highlight significant differences: Guatemala has a murder rate of 20.0 per 100,000 people, compared to Monaco's 0.0. Additionally, organized crime indices show that Guatemala scores poorly in various categories, such as mafia groups (7.5), crime networks (6.0), and drug trafficking (cocaine trade at 8.5), while Monaco scores much better across the board (1.0 to 3.5). In summary, tourists from Monaco should exercise caution when traveling to Guatemala due to higher crime rates and safety risks.
