Please answer the following question: How safe is Cambodia for tourists coming from Benin?
Cambodia is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Benin.

In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Cambodia is 1.8 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Benin's rate of 1.1. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that while both countries face challenges, Cambodia has lower scores in areas like mafia activity (2.5 vs. Benin's 1.0) and drug trade (cocaine trade score of 2.5 for Cambodia compared to 6.0 for Benin), indicating relatively lower organized crime threats in some areas.
