The United States is a major global tourism destination, appealing to millions with its rich cultural landmarks, natural attractions, and iconic cities. Its high international tourist receipts underscore its importance in the tourism sector. A portion of the 3.3 million Zimbabweans who travel abroad annually may find the U.S. an appealing destination.
The safety of the United States for tourists from Zimbabwe can be assessed through various crime statistics. According to the Global Peace Index, the U.S. ranks 130th out of 160 countries, while Zimbabwe is ranked slightly higher at 119th. In terms of murder rates, Zimbabwe has a rate of 6.1 per 100,000 people, compared to the U.S. rate of 6.8. Female murder rates are also higher in the U.S. at 2.9 compared to Zimbabwe's 1.9. From the Global Organized Crime Index, the U.S. generally has higher scores in organized crime categories than Zimbabwe. For instance, the U.S. scores 5.0 for mafia groups and 6.5 for crime networks, while Zimbabwe scores 3.5 and 7.5 respectively. Overall, while both countries face challenges related to crime, the data suggests that Zimbabwe may be relatively safer in certain aspects compared to the United States. Tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard safety precautions when traveling.
