Head of mission: Mr. Mirton Lika, Honorary Consul (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Albania, 1 Sep 2024)
Sri Lanka is an appealing travel destination for some Albanian visitors, thanks to its rich cultural heritage and beautiful landscapes. With 4.2 million Albanians traveling abroad annually, a portion may be attracted to its tropical beaches and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Sri Lanka presents a mixed safety profile for tourists, including those from Albania. While Albania ranks 42nd in safety among European countries, Sri Lanka is ranked 99th out of 160 countries according to the Global Peace Index, indicating a lower level of safety. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Sri Lanka is 3.5 per 100,000 people, higher than Albania's rate of 2.3. Female murder rates also show a significant difference, with Sri Lanka at 2.2 compared to Albania's 0.8. Regarding organized crime, both countries have challenges, but Sri Lanka generally scores lower in various crime indices. For instance, while both countries have similar scores for state crime (7.0), Sri Lanka has higher scores for mafia groups (4.0) and crime networks (5.0), indicating a more significant presence of organized crime. Overall, while Sri Lanka is a popular tourist destination, travelers should remain vigilant and informed about local safety conditions.
