1 mission of Seychelles in Israel: Consulate of Seychelles in Tel Aviv, Israel. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Arie Goldstein, Honorary Consul (as of 2010)
Seychelles is an appealing destination for some Israeli travelers, thanks to its breathtaking islands, pristine beaches, and lush landscapes. With around 200,000 international visitors each year, the archipelago offers a tranquil escape that could attract a portion of the 3 million Israelis who travel abroad annually.
Seychelles is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Israel. While the Global Peace Index ranks Israel 152nd out of 160 countries, there is no specific data available for Seychelles. In terms of crime statistics, Seychelles has a higher murder rate at 4.7 per 100,000 people compared to Israel's 1.9. Notably, female murders in Seychelles are also significantly higher at 5.4 compared to Israel's 0.6. When evaluating organized crime, Seychelles scores better in some areas, such as mafia groups (2.0 for Seychelles vs. 5.5 for Israel) and resource crime (1.0 for Seychelles vs. 5.5 for Israel), indicating a relatively lower presence of organized crime. However, Seychelles has higher rates of heroin trade (7.5) compared to Israel (3.0). Overall, while there are some crime concerns, many tourists visit Seychelles without issues. It's advisable for travelers to remain vigilant and take standard safety precautions while enjoying their visit.
