Qatar is gaining recognition as a tourist destination due to its unique combination of modernity and cultural heritage, complemented by stunning desert and urban scenery. While the number of tourists is moderate, the high spending per visitor highlights its appeal as a premium destination. Given that around 600,000 Croatians travel abroad each year, a portion of them may find Qatar to be an intriguing option.
Qatar is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Croatia. While Croatia ranks as the safest country in Europe for walking alone at night, with a murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people, Qatar has a lower murder rate of 0.3. According to the Global Peace Index, Qatar is ranked 29th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety, though it is not as safe as Croatia, which ranks 15th. In terms of organized crime, Qatar scores better in some areas, such as mafia presence (Qatar 1.0 vs. Croatia 4.0), but has higher scores for human trafficking (Qatar 8.0 vs. Croatia 4.5) and arms trafficking (Qatar 6.5 vs. Croatia 3.5). Overall, while both countries have their challenges, Qatar is considered safe for tourists, with lower violent crime rates compared to many other countries.
