South Sudan offers untapped potential and natural beauty, making it an emerging destination for travelers. As a young nation, its hospitality sector is still developing but shows promise. While it may appeal to a niche group of Belgian visitors, the overall attractiveness is limited compared to more established tourist destinations. However, with 8.6 million Belgians traveling abroad annually, there is a possibility that some may find South Sudan intriguing.
South Sudan is generally considered unsafe for tourists, including those from Belgium. While Belgium ranks 16th in the Global Peace Index and has a low murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, South Sudan ranks 158th out of 160 countries and has a significantly higher murder rate of 14.9 per 100,000 people. Additionally, South Sudan faces challenges with organized crime, with high indices in areas such as crime networks (8.0), state crime (9.0), and human trafficking (8.5). Given these factors, travelers should exercise extreme caution and consider the risks before visiting South Sudan.
