Sri Lanka is an appealing travel destination for some Jordanian visitors due to its rich cultural heritage, lush landscapes, tropical beaches, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. With around 800,000 Jordanians traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Sri Lanka an interesting option.
Sri Lanka's safety for tourists from Jordan can be assessed through various indices. According to the Global Peace Index, Sri Lanka is ranked 99th out of 160 countries, which indicates that it is less safe compared to Jordan, which ranks 65th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Sri Lanka is 3.5 per 100,000 people, higher than Jordan's rate of 1.0. Additionally, female murder rates are 2.2 in Sri Lanka compared to 0.6 in Jordan. The Global Organized Crime Index also reflects differences in safety. For example, mafia groups are rated at 4.0 in Sri Lanka versus 1.5 in Jordan, indicating a higher presence of organized crime. Other indices show that while Sri Lanka has some challenges, such as a higher heroin trade score (6.0 in Sri Lanka vs. 3.5 in Jordan), it also has lower scores in areas like foreign crime (2.5 in Sri Lanka vs. 4.5 in Jordan). Overall, while Sri Lanka offers beautiful landscapes and rich culture, tourists from Jordan should be aware of the higher crime rates and organized crime presence compared to their home country.
