India offers a rich blend of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and modern amenities, making it an appealing destination for some Ecuadorian travelers. With around 500,000 Ecuadorians traveling abroad each year, a portion may find India's historical landmarks and diverse ecosystems intriguing.
India is relatively safe for tourists from Ecuador when comparing crime statistics and safety rankings. According to the Global Peace Index, India ranks 114th out of 160 countries, which is better than Ecuador's ranking of 128th. In terms of murder rates, Ecuador has a significantly higher rate at 14.0 per 100,000 people, compared to India's 2.9. Both countries have the same female murder rate of 2.5. The Global Organized Crime Index also indicates that India has lower scores in several categories, such as mafia groups (India: 3.5 vs. Ecuador: 6.5) and foreign crime (India: 3.5 vs. Ecuador: 7.5). However, India has higher scores in human trafficking (India: 7.0 vs. Ecuador: 6.0) and fauna crime (India: 8.0 vs. Ecuador: 6.0). Overall, while there are safety concerns in both countries, India presents a safer environment for tourists compared to Ecuador based on these statistics.
