Head of mission: Ms. Manilay Thiphalansy, Honorary Consul General (as of 2015)
Sri Lanka is an appealing travel destination for some visitors from Laos, thanks to its rich cultural heritage and beautiful landscapes. With around 700,000 Laotians traveling abroad annually, a portion may find the island's tropical beaches and UNESCO World Heritage Sites enticing.
Sri Lanka's safety for tourists coming from Laos can be assessed through various indices. The Global Peace Index ranks Sri Lanka 99th out of 160 countries, indicating a lower level of safety compared to Laos, which ranks 48th. In terms of crime statistics, Sri Lanka has a murder rate of 3.5 per 100,000 people, with female murders at 2.2. While specific murder rates for Laos are not available, these figures suggest a relatively higher safety concern in Sri Lanka. According to the Global Organized Crime Index, Sri Lanka has higher scores (indicating worse conditions) in several categories compared to Laos, including mafia groups (4.0 vs. 1.5) and state crime (7.0 vs. 6.0). Overall, while many tourists visit Sri Lanka without incident, it is advisable for travelers from Laos to remain vigilant and informed about local conditions.
