The Maldives is an appealing destination for some Bangladeshi travelers, thanks to its stunning beaches, clear waters, and luxurious resorts. With around 1.3 million annual visitors, it stands out as a popular international spot, attracting a segment of Bangladesh's 171 million population.
The Maldives is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Bangladesh. While specific crime data for the Maldives is limited, it has a lower murder rate of 0.6 per 100,000 people compared to Bangladesh's 2.4. According to the Global Organized Crime Index, both countries have similar scores for mafia and crime networks (5.0 for the Maldives and 5.5 for Bangladesh), but the Maldives scores better in state crime (4.0 vs. 7.0) and has lower indices for human trafficking and resource crime. Overall, while no destination is without risks, the Maldives presents a relatively safe environment for tourists.
