With 7 million Spaniards traveling abroad annually, a segment may find Zimbabwe an intriguing destination.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Zimbabwe for tourists coming from Spain?
Zimbabwe's safety for tourists, including those from Spain, presents some concerns. While Spain ranks 23rd in the Global Peace Index, Zimbabwe is considerably lower at 119th out of 160 countries. The murder rate in Zimbabwe is significantly higher, with 6.1 murders per 100,000 people compared to Spain's 0.6. Additionally, crime indices reveal that while Zimbabwe has some better scores in areas like mafia presence (3.5 vs. Spain's 6.0), it fares worse in organized crime and state crime, with indices of 7.5 and 8.0, respectively. Overall, while many tourists visit Zimbabwe safely, it is advisable for travelers from Spain to exercise caution and stay informed about local conditions.
