Frequently asked questions

How attractive is Indonesia as a destination for visitors from Latvia?

Indonesia offers a captivating mix of cultural heritage and natural beauty, making it an appealing destination for international travelers. With its serene beaches, lush jungles, and volcanic landscapes, along with vibrant cities, it could attract a segment of the 500,000 Latvians who travel abroad annually. Some of these travelers may find Indonesia particularly interesting.

Please answer the following question: How safe is Indonesia for tourists coming from Latvia?

Indonesia is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Latvia. According to the Global Peace Index, Indonesia ranks 47th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively safe environment, although it is less safe compared to Latvia, which ranks 30th. In terms of crime statistics, Latvia has a murder rate of 3.0 per 100,000 people, while Indonesia has a lower rate of 0.6. However, Latvia faces higher organized crime indices in various categories compared to Indonesia. For instance, Latvia scores better in mafia groups (3.5 vs. 6.0) and state crime (2.0 vs. 7.5), suggesting a more favorable safety profile in these areas. Overall, while both countries have their own challenges, Indonesia is considered safe for tourists, but travelers should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions.
