India offers a rich blend of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and modern amenities, making it an appealing destination for some Guatemalan travelers. With around 400,000 Guatemalans traveling abroad annually, a portion may find India’s historic landmarks and diverse ecosystems particularly enticing.
India is relatively safe for tourists, including those from Guatemala. According to the Global Peace Index, India ranks 114th out of 160 countries, closely following Guatemala at 115th. When examining crime statistics, India's murder rate is significantly lower at 2.9 per 100,000 people compared to Guatemala's 20.0. Additionally, female murder rates are also lower in India (2.5) than in Guatemala (6.1). In terms of organized crime, India generally has lower indices for mafia groups (3.5 vs. 7.5) and foreign crime (3.5 vs. 7.5), indicating a less severe organized crime presence compared to Guatemala. However, India has higher indices for human trafficking (7.0) and fauna crime (8.0) than Guatemala.
