Kuwait offers a unique blend of tourism assets that reflect its growing significance in global affairs. Although it attracts fewer foreign tourists than its neighbors, it stands out due to high spending per visitor, indicating that affluent travelers prefer luxury experiences. This makes Kuwait an appealing destination for a segment of Lebanon's population of 6 million.
Kuwait is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Lebanon. According to the Global Peace Index, Kuwait ranks 25th out of 160 countries, indicating a higher level of safety compared to Lebanon, which ranks 132nd. In terms of crime statistics, Kuwait has a significantly lower murder rate of 0.3 per 100,000 people, compared to Lebanon's 1.9. While both countries have their challenges with organized crime, Kuwait scores better in several categories on the Global Organized Crime Index, particularly in mafia presence and state crime. Overall, tourists from Lebanon can expect a safer environment in Kuwait, although it is always advisable to stay informed and exercise standard safety precautions while traveling.
