Norway offers stunning fjords and rugged landscapes that appeal to nature lovers. With a thriving tourism industry, it attracts over a million international visitors each year. As such, it could be an appealing destination for a segment of Papua New Guinea's 10 million population.
Norway is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Papua New Guinea. It ranks 28th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating a high level of safety. In terms of crime, Norway has a significantly lower murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people compared to Papua New Guinea's rate of 9.8. While Norway ranks 18th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, there is no specific safety data available for tourists from Papua New Guinea. However, the overall crime indices from the Global Organized Crime Index suggest that Norway has a more stable and secure environment, with lower scores in various crime categories compared to Papua New Guinea. In summary, tourists from Papua New Guinea can feel relatively safe when visiting Norway, as it has lower crime rates and is ranked higher in terms of safety.
