Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Madagascar as a destination for visitors from Iceland?
Madagascar is an intriguing destination for Icelandic travelers, thanks to its rich biodiversity and unique cultural heritage. Although it currently sees modest tourist numbers globally, there has been a growing interest in recent years. With around 100,000 Icelanders traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Madagascar appealing.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Madagascar for tourists coming from Iceland?
Madagascar presents a different safety profile compared to Iceland for tourists. While Iceland ranks 3rd in safety among European countries, with a very low murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people, there is no specific data available for Madagascar's murder rate. However, the Global Peace Index rates Madagascar as relatively safe, placing it 43rd out of 160 countries, though it does not match Iceland's safety levels. In terms of organized crime, Iceland generally scores better than Madagascar. For example, Iceland has a lower index for mafia groups (4.5 vs. 4.0), crime networks (5.0 vs. 5.0), and state crime (2.0 vs. 7.5). Additionally, Madagascar has higher indices for various types of crime, including human trafficking (6.0) and flora crime (7.5). Overall, while Madagascar is considered relatively safe, it does not reach the safety standards of Iceland, and tourists should exercise caution and stay informed about local conditions.
