Montenegro is an appealing destination for some Lebanese travelers, thanks to its beautiful Adriatic coastline and mountainous landscapes. As a significant player in the international tourism market, it contributes notably to its economy through tourist receipts. This makes it an attractive option for a segment of Lebanon's 6 million population.
Montenegro is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Lebanon. It ranks 10th out of 40 European countries in terms of safety while walking alone at night. The Global Peace Index places Montenegro at 35th out of 160 countries, indicating a higher level of safety compared to Lebanon, which ranks 132nd. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Montenegro is 2.4 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Lebanon's rate of 1.9. However, Montenegro has lower rates of female murders (0.6 in Montenegro vs. 1.0 in Lebanon). Regarding organized crime, Montenegro has higher indices in some areas, but overall, it is safer than Lebanon in terms of human trafficking and state crime. For example, Montenegro scores 4.5 for human trafficking compared to Lebanon's 8.5. Overall, while there are some crime concerns in both countries, Montenegro is considered a safer option for tourists compared to Lebanon.
