Moldova offers a unique blend of cultural and natural attractions that could appeal to some Russian travelers. While it currently sees a modest number of tourists, the potential for growth exists, particularly considering that 12.4 million Russians travel abroad annually, with a portion likely interested in exploring Moldova.
Moldova is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Russia. According to safety rankings, Moldova is 33rd out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is comparable to Russia's ranking of 30th. However, when looking at the Global Peace Index, Moldova ranks 61st out of 160 countries, significantly safer than Russia, which ranks 154th. In terms of crime statistics, Moldova has a lower murder rate of 2.3 per 100,000 people, compared to Russia's 6.8. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Moldova at 1.2 and Russia at 3.3. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that while both countries face challenges, Moldova generally has lower scores in various crime categories compared to Russia. For example, Moldova scores 2.5 for flora crime and 2.0 for fauna crime, while Russia scores 7.5 in both categories. Overall, while no destination is without risk, Moldova is considered safer than Russia in several key areas, making it a viable option for Russian tourists.
