Sweden offers a captivating experience for visitors, featuring stunning landscapes and lively cities, supported by a strong tourism infrastructure. While it attracts a modest number of international tourists, its appeal lies in quality experiences rather than mass tourism. Given that 8.4 million Uzbekistanis travel abroad annually, a portion of them may find Sweden to be an intriguing destination.
Sweden is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Uzbekistan. According to the Global Peace Index, Sweden ranks 39th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety compared to Uzbekistan, which ranks 58th. In terms of crime statistics, Sweden has a lower murder rate (1.1 per 100,000 people) compared to Uzbekistan (1.4 per 100,000 people). While Sweden has a slightly higher score on organized crime indices (with scores of 5.5 for mafia groups and crime networks), it still exhibits lower levels of state crime and human trafficking compared to Uzbekistan. Overall, while there are some safety concerns, Sweden is safer than Uzbekistan in several aspects, making it a suitable destination for tourists.
