Suriname, located on the northeastern coast of South America, offers a unique blend of ecological diversity and cultural richness. While its tourism sector is relatively small compared to more popular destinations, it plays an important role in the country's economy and international relations. This makes Suriname an appealing option for a segment of Pakistan's population of 236 million.
Suriname's safety for tourists from Pakistan can be assessed through various crime statistics. While Pakistan ranks 138th in the Global Peace Index, there is no specific data available for Suriname. In terms of murder rates, Suriname has a higher rate at 5.7 per 100,000 people compared to Pakistan's 4.0. Additionally, Suriname reports a female murder rate of 2.3, while data for Pakistan is not available. According to the Global Organized Crime Index, Suriname generally has lower scores (indicating better conditions) in areas such as mafia presence (2.5) and human trafficking (4.0) compared to Pakistan's scores of 6.0 and 8.0, respectively. However, Suriname scores higher in state crime (8.0) and resource crime (9.0). In summary, while Suriname has some concerning crime statistics, particularly regarding murder rates and state crime, it also shows strengths in certain organized crime areas compared to Pakistan. Tourists should exercise caution and stay informed about local conditions while visiting Suriname.
