Pakistan offers a rich heritage and stunning natural landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Sudanese travelers. As a country at the crossroads of South Asia, it is enhancing its tourism infrastructure, with nearly 3,000 hotels available on TripAdvisor. This growth suggests an increasing ability to cater to various visitor needs, potentially attracting a segment of Sudan's 47 million population.
Pakistan's safety for tourists coming from Sudan can be assessed through various indicators. The Global Peace Index ranks Pakistan 138th out of 160 countries, which is an improvement compared to Sudan's ranking of 159th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Pakistan stands at 4.0 per 100,000 people, which is lower than Sudan's rate of 5.1. According to the Global Organized Crime Index, both countries face challenges, but Pakistan generally has slightly better scores in several categories. For instance, while both countries score 8.0 for human trafficking, Pakistan scores better in foreign crime (4.5 compared to Sudan's 7.5) and resource crime (5.5 versus Sudan's 7.5). Overall, while both countries have safety concerns, Pakistan is statistically safer than Sudan for tourists. However, travelers should remain vigilant and informed about local conditions.
