Moldova offers a unique blend of cultural and natural attractions that could appeal to British travelers. Although it currently sees relatively few tourists, it has the potential to attract a segment of the 19.1 million Britons who travel abroad annually.
Moldova is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists from the United Kingdom. According to safety rankings, Moldova is 33rd out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is better than the UK’s ranking of 37th. However, the Global Peace Index places Moldova at 61st out of 160 countries, compared to the UK’s 34th position. In terms of crime statistics, Moldova has a higher murder rate of 2.3 per 100,000 people, compared to the UK's 1.0. Female murder rates are also higher in Moldova (1.2) than in the UK (0.6). Regarding organized crime, both countries have a similar score of 4.0 for mafia groups, but Moldova scores higher in state crime (7.0) compared to the UK's 3.0. Other crime indices show Moldova has lower scores in areas like drug trafficking compared to the UK. Overall, while Moldova has some safety concerns, it is not significantly more dangerous than the UK and can be visited with standard precautions.
