Malta offers a compelling blend of history, culture, and modern tourism, making it an appealing destination for Colombian travelers. With approximately 3 million Colombians traveling internationally each year, a portion may find Malta's rich historical sites and strategic Mediterranean location attractive for their travels.
Malta is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Colombia. It ranks 26th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. In contrast, Colombia faces significant safety challenges, ranking 143rd among 160 countries in the Global Peace Index. Crime statistics reveal a stark difference in murder rates: Colombia has a murder rate of 27.5 per 100,000 people, while Malta's rate is just 0.4. Additionally, Malta scores significantly better on organized crime indices, with lower ratings across various categories compared to Colombia. Overall, tourists from Colombia can expect a safer environment in Malta, with considerably lower crime rates and a more secure atmosphere.
