Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Tajikistan as a destination for visitors from Sri Lanka?
Tajikistan offers a unique and diverse tourism experience, characterized by its stunning mountainous landscapes. While it remains a lesser-known destination, it is gradually gaining recognition in international tourism. Given that around 300,000 Sri Lankans travel abroad annually, there is potential interest among some of them in exploring Tajikistan.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Tajikistan for tourists coming from Sri Lanka?
Tajikistan is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Sri Lanka. According to the Global Peace Index, Tajikistan ranks 69th out of 160 countries, which is better than Sri Lanka's ranking of 99th. In terms of crime statistics, Tajikistan has a lower murder rate of 0.9 per 100,000 people compared to Sri Lanka's 3.5. Additionally, Tajikistan shows lower rates of female murders (0.2) versus Sri Lanka (2.2). While both countries face challenges related to organized crime, Tajikistan's indices in the Global Organized Crime Index indicate a mixed situation. For example, Tajikistan has higher scores for state crime (9.0) and heroin trade (8.5) compared to Sri Lanka, but lower scores in areas like flora crime (2.5) and cocaine trade (2.0). Overall, while there are some concerns, Tajikistan is relatively safer than Sri Lanka in terms of crime and violence, making it a viable option for tourists.
