Nicaragua presents an appealing option for some Venezuelan travelers, featuring stunning lakes, volcanoes, and a rich cultural heritage. While it attracts fewer tourists than larger global destinations, its tourism sector significantly contributes to the local economy. With 1.1 million Venezuelans traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Nicaragua an intriguing choice for their travels.
Nicaragua is generally considered safer for tourists compared to Venezuela. According to the Global Peace Index, Nicaragua ranks 111th out of 160 countries, while Venezuela ranks 140th. The murder rates further illustrate this difference: Nicaragua has a murder rate of 11.0 per 100,000 people, significantly lower than Venezuela's rate of 19.3. Additionally, various crime indices indicate that Nicaragua has lower levels of organized crime compared to Venezuela. For example, mafia group activity in Nicaragua scores 5.0 (on a scale where 1 is best and 10 is worst), whereas Venezuela scores 9.5. While no destination is without risks, tourists from Venezuela may find Nicaragua to be a relatively safer option for travel.
