Frequently asked questions

How attractive is Papua New Guinea as a destination for visitors from Denmark?

Papua New Guinea offers a unique tourism experience characterized by stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, making it an appealing but niche destination for some Danish travelers. With 3.2 million Danes traveling abroad annually, a portion may find the country's unspoiled landscapes and authentic environments particularly attractive. However, the modest infrastructure may limit its appeal to a broader audience.

Please answer the following question: How safe is Papua New Guinea for tourists coming from Denmark?

Papua New Guinea presents a significantly different safety landscape for tourists compared to Denmark. While Denmark is ranked 6th in safety among European countries and has a low murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people, Papua New Guinea is ranked 113th out of 160 countries in the Global Peace Index, with a much higher murder rate of 9.8 per 100,000 people. Crime statistics indicate that organized crime is more prevalent in Papua New Guinea, with high indices in areas such as crime networks (8.0) and state crime (8.0), compared to Denmark's much lower scores (4.0 and 2.0 respectively). Overall, tourists from Denmark should exercise caution when visiting Papua New Guinea, as it is not as safe as their home country.
