Countries with a high safety index are considered very safe.
Vietnam's safety index was 59.2 out of 100, higher than its neighbors such as the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Cambodia.
In Southeast Asia, Singapore achieved the highest score with 77.4. Known for its strict laws and low crime rates, the city-state has earned a reputation as a safe destination for tourists.
Thanks to political stability and a high level of safety, Vietnam has become a favorite destination for foreign tourists.
Last year, the country welcomed 17.6 million foreign visitors, approaching pre-pandemic levels seen in 2019. This year, it targets 22-23 million foreign tourists.
International media outlets have frequently praised Vietnam as one of the safest places for solo travelers.
Globally, Andorra, the sixth-smallest state in Europe, was named the safest country in the world by Numbeo, while Venezuela was ranked the most dangerous country.
