Haiti offers a unique blend of vibrant culture and rich history, making it an intriguing option for some Panamanian travelers. Although foreign tourist arrivals have stabilized recently, the potential for attracting visitors from Panama exists, especially given that around 400,000 Panamanians travel abroad annually, with some likely interested in exploring Haiti.
Haiti is considered less safe for tourists compared to Panama. According to the Global Peace Index, Haiti ranks 141st out of 160 countries, while Panama is ranked 94th. The murder rates are similar, with Panama at 12.7 per 100,000 people and Haiti at 13.0. However, crime indices indicate a higher level of organized crime in Haiti, with scores of 8.0 for mafia groups and 6.0 for crime networks, compared to Panama's scores of 7.5 and 7.0, respectively. Tourists should exercise caution when considering travel to Haiti, as the overall safety environment is not as favorable as in Panama.
