Barbados
is generally a safe place to travel, according to the U.S. State Department , but there are certain natural and social perils that travelers need to be aware of.
Crime
Like most places, there is crime and drugs in Barbados. Travelers are usually not the victims of violent crime, and generally enjoy better security than local residents: most hotels, resorts and other businesses catering to tourists operate in walled compounds monitored by private security staff.
