Portugal is a vibrant destination known for its cultural richness and natural beauty, appealing to millions of tourists worldwide. Although its popularity has varied over time, recent trends show a gradual increase in foreign visitors. This makes Portugal an appealing option for a segment of Guyana's population of approximately 1 million.
Portugal is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Guyana. It ranks 15th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, and according to the Global Peace Index, it is the 7th safest country in the world out of 160 countries. In contrast, Guyana ranks 109th. When looking at crime statistics, the murder rate in Portugal is significantly lower at 0.8 per 100,000 people, compared to Guyana's 16.3. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Portugal at 0.6 and Guyana at 2.2. In terms of organized crime, Portugal generally has a better standing compared to Guyana across various categories, including mafia presence and human trafficking. Overall, tourists from Guyana can feel secure visiting Portugal, given its low crime rates and high safety rankings.
