Malta offers a compelling mix of history, culture, and modern tourism, making it an appealing destination for some Ghanaians. Its strategic Mediterranean location and numerous historical sites attract around one million international visitors annually, suggesting it could attract a portion of Ghana's 33 million population.
Malta is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Ghana. It ranks 26th among 40 European countries in terms of safety while walking alone at night. In comparison, Ghana ranks 54th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating a relatively peaceful environment. When looking at murder rates, Malta has a significantly lower rate at 0.4 per 100,000 people, compared to Ghana's 1.8. Additionally, Malta shows no recorded female murders, while Ghana has a rate of 0.6. In terms of organized crime, Malta has a better score in areas such as mafia presence (1.5 for Malta vs. 3.0 for Ghana) and arms trafficking (2.5 for Malta vs. 5.0 for Ghana). However, both countries face challenges with crime networks and state crime, scoring similarly in those areas. Overall, while both countries have their own safety concerns, Malta is statistically safer for tourists.
