Ireland
Ireland was
elected as the World’s Friendliest Country by Lonely Planet. The
country is fast growing as the top vacation choice in Europe and Ireland
currently enjoys more than 10 million annual visits from the tourists
overseas. The tourists love to enjoy the comedy acts and visual arts,
complete with street performers and the events like the Galway Arts
Festival. Ireland’s falling crime rates plays a major role in drawing
tourists globally along with the very scenic rural areas of the country.
New Zealand
New Zealand is unique country as it has a
population close to 4 million and the country’s average annual
tourist turnout is nearly 2 million. The friendly attitude of New
Zealand is evident in how people treat each other. Call it foolishness
or trust, but New Zealanders have a high degree of faith in their fellow
citizens and neighbors. They’ve been known to use less security in
business settings than Westerners are used to. Be sure, most Kiwis will
make your stay as friendly as it can be.
Canada
Canada is one of the top friendly
countries and known for being coined the friendliest country of 2007 in
the Anholt Brand Index. Canada receives over $60 billion annually from
tourism, with visitors getting friendly vibes from the country and
citizens. Recently, The Economist chose Vancouver as the Best Place to
Live. Crime rate in Canada is low, partly because of a tight stance on
gun control. Just over 10% of the country’s crimes are violent.
Greece
Greece
truly satisfies the blurbs that shout ‘has something for everyone’
does. Whether you’re there to soak in the sun on the magnificent
beaches, roam around the ancient ruins or party till you drop, the
country leaves you clamoring for more. It ensures a guilt-free travel;
low crime rates make sure you have come back again to marvel at the
floral aromas that permeate the air and the pervading sense of spirit.
Switzerland
The Swiss are known for their honesty and
hard work. Their friendliness is visible in their consideration for
tourists. The carefully crafted hiking trails or the neatly polished ski
resorts are only a few to name. The tourists help the country to earn a
collective $20 billion annually and are more than happy to ski the
scenic mountainside, while the rest finds something more social at one
of the country’s many youth hostels. Safety in Switzerland is moderate
when compared to developed countries. Though violent crime rate is much
lower than U.S. but the country has a higher record of burglaries. It
may sound alarming but most people are safer exploring Switzerland than
they are back at home.
Scotland
Approximately
16 million people travel to Scotland every year. You can have the
pleasure of meeting a nation of well-educated locals who are rich with
culture and know how to have fun. Even the regular arts and musical
events like the annual Highland Festival reflect the festive Scottish
spirit. The country’s crime rates are higher than U.S. but these cases
are mostly confined to inner-city areas. But such setbacks never take
away from Scotland’s friendly heart.
Malaysia
Malaysia is often criticized for being
mild compared to its grittier neighbors, Thailand and Indonesia. The
facilities a tourist get here is of truly world class; the roads are
free of potholes and dirt, local buses and trains have air-con and plush
seats and hotels are of international standard. Malaysian people are
friendly in nature and the crime rate here is significantly low. While
troubles are few, cheap connections to Europe and great exchange rates
ensure that you won’t get eaten up by your wallet.
Fiji
Over an amount of $430 million earned
through tourism, Fiji and its 300-plus tropical islands are a must visit
place. The locals represent a culture that celebrates everyone,
regardless to religion, cast or country of origin. As a tourist, you can
expect a welcome kava celebration from the locales. Fiji is a safe
place to visit. Violent crimes have dropped significantly. Tourism is
going strong and the harmonized experience here will surely blow you
away.
Portugal
Portugal is one of the greatest seafaring
nations in the history. It is a land of great tradition, you can
experience the Saint’s-Day festivals or visit the ancient vineyards
that bring sleepy medieval villages to life. In other hand, a modern
Portugal, with all its dazzling city centers, the new wave of boutiques,
art galleries and cafes is ready to welcome he visitors. People here
are very friendly and charming. Crime rates in Portugal are moderate but
the country has no records of any serious troubles with the tourists so
far.
Germany
The Germans travel a lot themselves; therefore, they are cordial to their nearly 20 million annual visitors. Tourists in Germany
become connected to the country’s warm and cultured atmosphere through
classical opera houses, numerous museums and large-scale events like the
Oktoberfest fair. Germany is a large, industrialized
country with a fair amount of crime. But German’s violent crime index is
still lower than in the U.S. and most of its other crime rates are
falling.
