South Sudan offers untapped potential and natural beauty, making it an intriguing destination for some Norwegian travelers. As a young nation, its hospitality industry is still developing, but there are promising signs of growth. With 1.7 million Norwegians traveling abroad annually, a portion may find South Sudan appealing.
South Sudan is considered a high-risk destination for tourists, including those from Norway. While Norway ranks 18th in safety among European countries, South Sudan ranks 158th out of 160 countries according to the Global Peace Index. The murder rate in South Sudan is significantly higher at 14.9 per 100,000 people compared to Norway's 0.5. Additionally, South Sudan faces challenges with organized crime, with high indices for crime networks (8.0), state crime (9.0), and human trafficking (8.5) compared to Norway's much lower scores. Given these factors, it is advisable for tourists to exercise extreme caution and thoroughly research safety conditions before traveling to South Sudan.
