Indonesia is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Sri Lanka. According to the Global Peace Index, Indonesia ranks 47th out of 160 countries, which is significantly better than Sri Lanka's ranking of 99th. In terms of crime statistics, Indonesia has a lower murder rate of 0.6 per 100,000 people compared to Sri Lanka's 3.5.
