Italy is an appealing destination for travelers from the Philippines, thanks to its rich history and culture. With iconic cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence, it attracts millions of tourists each year. Given that 1.5 million Filipinos travel abroad annually, a notable number may find Italy an enticing option.
Italy is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from the Philippines. According to the Global Peace Index, Italy ranks 33rd out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety compared to the Philippines, which ranks 102nd. While Italy is ranked 34th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, it still has a much lower murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people compared to the Philippines' rate of 4.4. In terms of organized crime, Italy has a higher index (9.0) for mafia groups compared to the Philippines (8.0), but overall, the crime networks in Italy are rated better (3.0) than those in the Philippines (6.0). Overall, while both countries face challenges related to crime, Italy is statistically safer for tourists.
