Kuwait offers a unique blend of tourism attractions that may appeal to Indonesian visitors. While it receives fewer foreign tourists than neighboring countries, it attracts affluent travelers who prefer luxury experiences, evident in the high spending per visitor. With around 500,000 Indonesians traveling abroad annually, there is potential interest among some of them in exploring Kuwait as a destination.
Kuwait is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Indonesia. According to the Global Peace Index, Kuwait ranks 25th out of 160 countries, making it safer than Indonesia, which ranks 47th. The murder rate in Kuwait is lower than in Indonesia, with Kuwait at 0.3 per 100,000 people compared to Indonesia's 0.6. In terms of organized crime, Kuwait has a better score for mafia groups (1.0) compared to Indonesia (6.0), indicating a lower presence of such groups. However, both countries have challenges with crime networks and state crime, scoring similarly in these areas. Overall, while no destination is without risks, Kuwait's safety ranking and lower murder rate suggest it is a relatively safe place for Indonesian tourists.
