Norway offers stunning fjords and rugged landscapes, making it an appealing destination for nature lovers. With a thriving tourism industry that welcomes over a million international visitors each year, it could attract a segment of Belize's population, despite Belize's relatively small size.
Norway is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Belize. It ranks 18th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. In terms of global safety, Norway is ranked 28th out of 160 countries according to the Global Peace Index. When comparing crime statistics, Norway has a significantly lower murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people, compared to Belize's 31.2. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Norway at 0.6 and Belize at 5.5. In terms of organized crime, Norway scores better in several categories, such as state crime (Norway 2.0 vs. Belize 4.5) and flora crime (Norway 2.5 vs. Belize 5.5). Overall, tourists from Belize can expect a safer environment in Norway, with lower rates of violent crime and organized crime activities.
