Romania has emerged as an appealing destination for travelers, featuring a unique mix of cultural, historical, and natural attractions. With around 6.8 million foreign tourists annually, it is a strong contender in regional tourism, offering medieval towns, gothic castles, and the stunning Carpathian Mountains. This makes it a potentially interesting choice for a segment of the Maldivian population, which totals about 1 million.
Romania is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from the Maldives. It ranks 19th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. According to the Global Peace Index, Romania is 36th among 160 countries worldwide. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Romania is 1.3 per 100,000 people, compared to 0.6 in the Maldives. Female murder rates are lower in Romania (0.8) than in the Maldives (2.6). Regarding organized crime, Romania has a slightly better score than the Maldives in some areas, such as state crime (3.5 vs. 4.0) and arms trafficking (3.5 vs. 2.0). However, both countries face challenges with human trafficking and drug-related crimes. Overall, while Romania has some crime concerns, it remains a relatively safe destination for tourists.
