Singapore is an appealing destination for some visitors from Myanmar, particularly given its unique combination of rich history and modern attractions. While it sees a relatively low number of international tourists, it effectively capitalizes on its tourism resources, resulting in high tourist spending per visitor. This makes it an interesting option for a segment of Myanmar's 54 million Bamar population.
Singapore is considered one of the safest countries for tourists, including those coming from Myanmar. According to the Global Peace Index, Singapore ranks 5th out of 160 countries, significantly safer than Myanmar, which ranks 145th. In terms of crime statistics, Singapore has a murder rate of just 0.1 per 100,000 people, compared to Myanmar's much higher rate of 28.4. This trend continues across various crime indices, with Singapore scoring better in organized crime categories, including mafia presence, crime networks, and state crime. Overall, tourists from Myanmar can feel secure while visiting Singapore, given its low crime rates and high safety rankings.
