Syria offers a unique blend of historical significance and natural beauty, making it potentially appealing to some Belgian travelers. While the country has faced challenges in recent years, it may attract a segment of the 8.6 million Belgians who travel abroad annually.
Syria is currently considered unsafe for tourists, including those from Belgium. According to the Global Peace Index, Syria ranks 153rd out of 160 countries, indicating significant safety concerns compared to Belgium, which ranks 16th. Additionally, the murder rate in Syria is higher at 2.2 per 100,000 people, compared to Belgium's 1.1. Crime indices also reveal stark differences: Syria has higher scores for organized crime, with a state crime index of 10.0 (worst) compared to Belgium's 2.0 (best). Other crime categories, such as human trafficking and drug trade, also show Syria scoring significantly worse than Belgium. In summary, due to high crime rates and low safety rankings, it is advisable for tourists from Belgium to avoid traveling to Syria at this time.
