The United States is a prominent tourist destination, appealing to many with its rich cultural landmarks, natural attractions, and famous cities. It ranks highly in international tourist revenue, underscoring its importance in global tourism. A portion of the 600,000 Estonians who travel abroad annually may find the U.S. an appealing choice for their travels.
The safety of the United States for tourists from Estonia can be assessed through various statistics. Estonia ranks 4th in safety among 40 European countries for walking alone at night, while the U.S. lacks specific data for this measure. According to the Global Peace Index, Estonia is significantly safer, ranked 24th compared to the U.S. at 130th out of 160 countries. In terms of crime rates, Estonia has a murder rate of 2.0 per 100,000 people, while the U.S. has a higher rate of 6.8. Female murder rates also reflect this disparity: Estonia at 0.6 compared to the U.S. at 2.9. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Estonia generally has lower crime indices compared to the U.S. across various categories, including mafia groups (Estonia 3.0, U.S. 5.0) and human trafficking (Estonia 4.5, U.S. 5.5). Overall, while the U.S. offers many attractions for tourists, it is statistically less safe than Estonia, particularly in terms of violent crime and organized crime activities. Tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard safety precautions while traveling in the U.S.
