Eswatini offers a unique mix of cultural richness and natural beauty, making it appealing to a segment of South Africa's 60 million residents. While it attracts a limited number of international visitors annually, the country's tourism sector has developed specific niches that enhance its attractiveness as a destination.
Eswatini is generally considered safer for tourists than South Africa. According to the Global Peace Index, Eswatini ranks 101st out of 160 countries, while South Africa ranks 125th. The murder rate in Eswatini is significantly lower at 12.7 per 100,000 people, compared to South Africa's 41.9. In terms of organized crime, Eswatini scores better across various indices: mafia groups (1.5 vs. 7.0), crime networks (5.5 vs. 7.0), and state crime (5.0 vs. 7.5). While no destination is without risks, tourists from South Africa may find Eswatini to be a relatively safer option for travel.
