1 mission of Sri Lanka in Kyrgyzstan: Consulate of Sri Lanka in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Ms. Dzhumabaeva Roza, Honorary Consul (as of 2015)
Sri Lanka is an appealing travel destination for some visitors from Kyrgyzstan, thanks to its rich cultural heritage, beautiful landscapes, and tropical beaches. While it attracts a modest number of international tourists, the island's UNESCO World Heritage Sites may pique the interest of Kyrgyzstani travelers among the 1.8 million who travel abroad annually.
Sri Lanka's safety for tourists from Kyrgyzstan can be assessed through various indices and crime statistics. According to the Global Peace Index, Sri Lanka ranks 99th out of 160 countries, indicating it is less safe than Kyrgyzstan, which ranks 75th. In terms of murder rates, Sri Lanka has a rate of 3.5 per 100,000 people, compared to Kyrgyzstan's 1.7. Female murder rates are also higher in Sri Lanka (2.2) than in Kyrgyzstan (0.5). The Global Organized Crime Index shows that while Sri Lanka has lower scores in some categories (e.g., mafia groups and crime networks), it still faces challenges with state crime and human trafficking. Overall, while Sri Lanka is a popular tourist destination, it has higher crime rates compared to Kyrgyzstan, suggesting that tourists should exercise caution and stay informed about local conditions.
