Head of mission: Arik Morshed, Honorary Consul (as of 2015)
Laos has become an appealing destination for international tourists, showcasing its natural beauty and cultural heritage. With nearly five million annual visitors, it successfully attracts those interested in its landscapes and historical sites. While it may not be a mainstream choice, it holds potential appeal for a segment of Bangladesh's 171 million population.
Laos is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Bangladesh. According to the Global Peace Index, Laos ranks 48th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety, especially compared to Bangladesh, which ranks 91st. While specific murder rates for Laos are not available, Bangladesh has a murder rate of 2.4 per 100,000 people. In terms of organized crime, Laos scores better on several indices compared to Bangladesh. For example, Laos has a mafia group index of 1.5 (lower is better) compared to Bangladesh's 5.5, and a resource crime index of 1.5 versus Bangladesh's 3.5. However, Laos does face challenges with certain types of crime, such as human trafficking and drug-related issues. Overall, while no destination is without risks, Laos is considered safer than Bangladesh for tourists.
