Malta is an appealing destination for Moldovan visitors due to its rich history, culture, and strategic Mediterranean location. Annually, around one million international tourists visit Malta, and with approximately 200,000 Moldovans traveling abroad each year, a portion of them may find Malta an attractive option.
Malta is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Moldova. It ranks 26th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, making it safer than Moldova, which ranks 33rd. According to murder rates, Malta has a significantly lower rate at 0.4 per 100,000 people compared to Moldova's 2.3. In terms of organized crime, Malta has a lower score for mafia groups (1.5) compared to Moldova (4.0), indicating a lesser presence of organized crime. However, both countries have similar scores for certain crime types, such as human trafficking and drug trade, suggesting that while Malta is generally safer, some challenges remain. Overall, tourists from Moldova can feel relatively secure when visiting Malta.
