Head of mission: Mr. Sven-Åke Bergkvist, Honorary Consul General (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Sweden, 23 Oct 2024)
Haiti offers a unique blend of vibrant culture and rich history, making it a potentially intriguing destination for some Swedish travelers. While foreign tourist arrivals have stabilized in recent years, the country's appeal may attract a portion of the 4.2 million Swedes who travel abroad annually.
Haiti is generally considered unsafe for tourists, including those from Sweden. According to the Global Peace Index, Haiti ranks 141st out of 160 countries, indicating significant safety concerns compared to Sweden, which ranks 39th. Crime statistics further highlight the disparity: Haiti has a murder rate of 13.0 per 100,000 people, compared to Sweden's rate of 1.1. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Haiti at 1.9 and Sweden at 0.5. In terms of organized crime, Haiti scores poorly across various indices. For example, it has a mafia group index of 8.0 (with 1 being the best) and a state crime index of 7.0, while Sweden scores much better at 5.5 and 2.5, respectively. Given these factors, tourists from Sweden should exercise caution and consider the risks involved when planning a visit to Haiti.
