New Zealand offers captivating natural beauty and diverse cultural heritage, making it an appealing destination for some Austrian travelers. With 7.5 million Austrians traveling abroad annually, there is potential interest among them in visiting New Zealand, despite fluctuations in foreign tourist numbers.
New Zealand is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Austria. According to the Global Peace Index, New Zealand ranks 4th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety, comparable to Austria, which ranks 3rd. While specific data on safety while walking alone at night is not available for New Zealand, the country has a higher murder rate (2.6 per 100,000 people) compared to Austria (0.7 per 100,000). However, New Zealand's organized crime indices suggest a relatively low level of organized crime compared to Austria, particularly in areas such as state crime and resource crime. Overall, tourists from Austria can expect a safe experience in New Zealand, though they should remain aware of their surroundings, as they would in any foreign country.
