The United States is a major global tourism destination, appealing to millions annually with its rich cultural landmarks, natural attractions, and iconic cities. Its high international tourist receipts underscore its importance in the tourism sector. Consequently, it may attract a segment of Zambia's 20 million population.
The safety of the United States for tourists from Zambia can be assessed through various crime statistics. According to the Global Peace Index, the U.S. ranks 130th out of 160 countries, while Zambia ranks significantly higher at 55th. In terms of murder rates, Zambia has a rate of 5.4 per 100,000 people, compared to the U.S. rate of 6.8. Additionally, the U.S. has a female murder rate of 2.9, which is not available for Zambia. The Global Organized Crime Index also indicates that the U.S. has higher scores in several categories, such as mafia groups (5.0), crime networks (6.5), and drug trade activities, compared to Zambia's lower scores in these areas. Overall, while the U.S. offers many attractions for tourists, visitors from Zambia should be aware of the higher crime rates and the overall safety ranking compared to their home country.
