Kuwait offers a unique blend of tourism attractions, reflecting its growing significance in global affairs. Although it receives fewer foreign tourists than neighboring countries, it attracts affluent visitors who prioritize luxury experiences, as indicated by high per visitor spending. This makes it an appealing destination for a segment of Serbia's population of 7 million.
Kuwait is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Serbia. According to the Global Peace Index, Kuwait ranks 25th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety, particularly when compared to Serbia, which ranks 53rd. In terms of crime statistics, Kuwait has a lower murder rate of 0.3 per 100,000 people, compared to Serbia's rate of 1.1.

Regarding organized crime, Kuwait scores better in several categories, with lower indices for mafia groups (1.0 for Kuwait vs. 6.0 for Serbia) and foreign crime (3.5 for Kuwait vs. 6.5 for Serbia). However, Kuwait has a higher score for human trafficking (8.0) compared to Serbia (5.0). Overall, while both countries have their safety concerns, Kuwait is statistically safer for tourists than Serbia, particularly in terms of violent crime.
