Seychelles is an appealing destination for some Indonesian travelers, thanks to its breathtaking islands in the Indian Ocean, featuring beautiful beaches, lush landscapes, and clear waters. Annually, it attracts around 200,000 international visitors seeking natural beauty and luxury. With approximately 500,000 Indonesians traveling abroad each year, a portion may find Seychelles an attractive option for their travels.
Seychelles is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Indonesia. While Indonesia ranks 47th on the Global Peace Index, Seychelles lacks specific data in this regard. However, crime statistics indicate that Seychelles has a higher murder rate (4.7 per 100,000) compared to Indonesia (0.6 per 100,000). In terms of organized crime, Seychelles has lower indices in several categories compared to Indonesia, indicating a relatively lower prevalence of organized crime activities. For instance, Seychelles scores better in resource crime (1.0) compared to Indonesia (7.5), but it has higher scores in heroin trade (7.5) and synthetic drugs (2.5). Overall, while tourists should remain vigilant and take standard safety precautions, Seychelles is a popular tourist destination and is generally safe for visitors.
