The Netherlands is an appealing destination for some visitors from Madagascar, thanks to its famous canals, tulip fields, windmills, and historic cities. Its unique combination of urban sophistication and rustic charm makes it a notable choice in international tourism, potentially attracting a segment of Madagascar's 30 million population.
The Netherlands is considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Madagascar. It ranks 9th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. According to the Global Peace Index, it is the 18th safest country out of 160 globally, significantly safer than Madagascar, which ranks 43rd. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in the Netherlands is notably low at 0.7 per 100,000 people, while there is no available data for Madagascar. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index indicates that while both countries face challenges, the Netherlands generally has lower indices for various types of crime compared to Madagascar. Overall, tourists from Madagascar can expect a relatively safe experience in the Netherlands.
