Syria offers a unique blend of historical significance and natural beauty, making it an intriguing option for some Canadian travelers. While the country has faced challenges in recent years, a segment of the 5 million Canadians who travel abroad annually may find it appealing to explore its rich cultural heritage.
Syria is currently considered unsafe for tourists, including those from Canada. According to the Global Peace Index, Syria ranks 153rd out of 160 countries, significantly lower than Canada, which ranks 11th. The murder rates are similar, with Syria at 2.2 per 100,000 people compared to Canada's 2.1. However, crime statistics reveal a concerning picture for Syria, with high scores on the Global Organized Crime Index indicating severe issues with organized crime, state crime, and human trafficking. For instance, Syria scores 10 (the worst) for state crime and 8.5 for human trafficking, while Canada scores much lower across these categories. Overall, the safety situation in Syria poses significant risks for travelers.
