The United States is a major tourist destination, appealing to millions annually with its diverse cultural landmarks, natural attractions, and iconic cities. Its prominence in global tourism is reflected in high international tourist receipts. A portion of the approximately 200,000 Maltese who travel abroad each year may find the United States an appealing option.
The safety of the United States for tourists from Malta can be assessed through various crime statistics. Malta has a low murder rate of 0.4 per 100,000 people, while the United States has a significantly higher rate of 6.8. Additionally, Malta ranks 26th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, but there is no comparable data for the U.S. According to the Global Peace Index, the U.S. is ranked 130th out of 160 countries, indicating a lower level of peace compared to many nations. Furthermore, the Global Organized Crime Index shows that the U.S. has higher indices for various crime categories, including organized crime and drug trafficking, compared to Malta. In summary, while Malta is generally considered safe, the United States has higher crime rates and is ranked lower in terms of safety and peace, which may be a consideration for Maltese tourists.
