Qatar is becoming an appealing destination for Vietnamese visitors due to its mix of modernity and cultural heritage, complemented by stunning desert and urban scenery. Although tourist arrivals are moderate, Qatar's high tourist spending per visitor highlights its status as a valuable destination. It may particularly attract a segment of Vietnam's 98 million population.
Qatar is considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Vietnam. According to the Global Peace Index, Qatar ranks 29th out of 160 countries, making it safer than Vietnam, which ranks 41st. In terms of crime statistics, Qatar has a low murder rate of 0.3 per 100,000 people, compared to Vietnam's 1.5. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Qatar generally has lower organized crime levels, with a mafia group index of 1.0 (best) versus Vietnam's 6.0 (worst). While there are some areas where both countries face challenges, overall, Qatar presents a safer environment for tourists compared to Vietnam.
