New Zealand – known for its friendly locals and low crime rates – is a safe and welcoming destination that offers a secure environment for travellers. The country's well-maintained infrastructure, reliable public transportation, and excellent healthcare services further enhance the appeal while natural hazards like earthquakes and extreme weather are managed with sophisticated planning and efficient emergency systems.  But, as with every destination, visitors are asked to be observant and vigilant when it comes to personal safety and adopt the common-sense precautions that reduce the chance of something going wrong.
