1 mission of Mongolia in New Zealand: Consulate of Mongolia in Auckland, New Zealand. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Matthew Hooton, Honorary Consul (as of 2015)
Mongolia offers a unique blend of ancient traditions and stunning landscapes, appealing to travelers seeking authentic experiences. While its tourism infrastructure is still developing, it presents an intriguing option for some of the 200,000 New Zealanders who travel abroad annually.
Mongolia is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, ranking 44th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index. However, it is important to note that it is not as safe as New Zealand, which ranks 4th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Mongolia is higher at 6.2 per 100,000 people compared to New Zealand's 2.6. Specifically, female murder rates are also higher in Mongolia (2.5) than in New Zealand (1.1). Regarding organized crime, Mongolia has various indices indicating some concerns, such as a score of 4.5 for crime networks and state crime, while New Zealand scores significantly better in these areas. Overall, while Mongolia is relatively safe, tourists from New Zealand should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions.
