Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Suriname as a destination for visitors from Japan?
Suriname offers a unique appeal for Japanese visitors due to its rich ecological diversity and cultural heritage. While its tourism sector is smaller compared to more popular destinations, it contributes significantly to the country's economy and international relations. Given that around 500,000 Japanese travel abroad annually, there is potential interest from some who may find Suriname intriguing.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Suriname for tourists coming from Japan?
Suriname presents certain safety concerns for tourists, including those from Japan. While Japan ranks 17th on the Global Peace Index, Suriname lacks comparable data. The murder rate in Suriname is significantly higher at 5.7 per 100,000 people, compared to Japan's 0.2. Additionally, various crime indices indicate that Suriname faces challenges with organized crime and state crime, with a particularly high score of 8.0 in state crime and 9.0 in resource crime. In summary, while Japan is considered very safe, tourists should exercise caution in Suriname due to higher crime rates and organized crime issues.
