Population of 350,000 and 5,000,0000 tourists per year. Brave souls, each and every one of them.
as long as you stay within the like tourist areas, usually. Several Tourists have been murdered once they(unintentionally, or not) once they went not even 500 meters inland. I mean, the shit part of town is on the other side of the hill.
Been there, oh 4 times. Two times I went through, the cops were full loadout with AK-47s and rounding shitbags/illegals up and deporting them. Those guys were just shy of military gear(so maybe SWAT type equivalent?) Also, have you EVER been to the Bahamas?
Police on every. single. street. Downtown(the tourist area). Hell, there's even cops on the bloody "fortified" Rich Man island of Paradise Island(all the famous Celebs have houses there). Fukers robbed boat parts right from ships docked in the 1 million dollar/day harbor.
Want to laugh some more? Just because 5 million people visit it, doesn't mean that it's safe. they have 325,000(probably 350,000 with all the illegal immigrants) on an island 207 kmĀ². Hell, I've even seen the people who live in the, effectively(cause it's not actually gov santioned), landfill for the island. People live in the Garbage dump. Please, go Berate me more for my views.
(also, if it wasn't some 600 bucks a flight I'd visit more often. But 600 is a tad pricey for a 1-2 week trip)
