Malta offers a unique blend of history, culture, and modern tourism, making it an appealing destination for some Gambians. Its strategic Mediterranean location and wealth of historical sites attract around one million international visitors annually, suggesting that it could be a worthwhile choice for a segment of Gambia's 3 million population.
Malta is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Gambia. It ranks 26th out of 40 European countries in terms of safety while walking alone at night, although specific safety data for Gambia is unavailable. The murder rate in Malta is notably low at 0.4 per 100,000 people, with no recorded female murders. In terms of organized crime, both countries have varying indices, with Gambia scoring better in mafia presence (1.0 vs. Malta's 1.5) but worse in crime networks (6.5 vs. Malta's 7.0). Overall, Malta has lower crime rates and is considered a safer destination compared to Gambia, making it a suitable place for tourists.
