Barbados is an island nation in the West Indies located in the Atlantic Ocean and northeast of Venezuela. The island is part of a long underwater mountain range that rises above sea level. The population is approximately 280,000 people.
Until 1966 when Barbados gained independence, it was a colony of the United Kingdom. The government is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy.
Since becoming independent in 1966, Barbados has gone from being a poor economy dependent upon sugarcane to a prosperous economy based mainly on tourism. Also important to the economy are the financial sector and light manufacturing.
Barbados’ mild tropical climate with constant trade winds and the beautiful beaches draw visitors, along with duty-free shopping, wildlife reserves, scuba diving and snorkeling, and caves to explore.

Barbados中的安全性
人身安全
巴貝多為遊客提供了相對安全的環境。扒手和搶包等輕微犯罪時有發生,尤其是在奧伊斯廷斯炸魚區和布里奇頓市場等擁擠的旅遊區。近年來,與幫派相關的暴力犯罪增加,槍枝暴力導致兇殺案急劇上升。 2024年,該國記錄了50起謀殺案,比前一年增加了138%,其中70%的案件使用了槍支。大多數暴力事件與幫派鬥爭有關,通常影響當地人而不是遊客。一些暴力事件發生在人口稠密的公共場所。毒品犯罪、入室竊盜和車輛竊盜也時有發生。參加大型集會、街頭派對和海灘派對時要小心,尤其是在天黑後或節日期間。平民(包括兒童)不得穿著迷彩服。持有毒品將受到嚴厲處罰,包括罰款和監禁。巴貝多皇家警察部隊在旅遊區設有警力,緊急電話號碼為警察 211、火警 311 和救護車 511。
極端暴力
巴貝多暴力犯罪急劇增加,主要原因是槍枝和幫派活動。 2024 年,謀殺率達到每 10 萬人 17.7 起,為該國歷史最高。該島 2024 年記錄了 50 起兇殺案,高於 2023 年的 21 起。在記錄的 49 起謀殺案中,有 34 起使用了槍支。敵對幫派之間和平協議的破裂似乎是暴力犯罪激增的原因。槍支暴力主要集中在聖邁克爾教區,53% 的槍支殺人案發生在這裡,黑岩、松樹和薩金茨村成為熱點。基督教堂市也存在暴力事件,尤其是在加爾山,教區 33% 的槍支死亡事件都發生在這裡。受害者的平均年齡為 30 歲,而被指控的肇事者的平均年齡為 21.6 歲。 11至15歲的青少年罪犯越來越被指控犯下謀殺和搶劫等嚴重罪行。大多數暴力犯罪與幫派有關,並與領土爭端和毒品交易有關。自2022年以來,武器販運大幅增加,大多數武器都與敵對幫派有關。雖然遊客很少成為犯罪目標,但武裝搶劫、性侵犯和槍擊事件時有發生,其中一些發生在人口稠密的公共場所。
政治動盪
巴貝多是一個穩定的民主國家,有著和平的政治過渡歷史。該國定期舉行競爭性選舉,並維護公民自由。巴貝多工黨目前在政壇佔據主導地位,在 2022 年選舉後將佔據眾議院的所有席位。集會自由在實踐中得到保障和維護。抗議和示威活動和平進行。 2022 年的抗議活動包括要求在新冠疫情封鎖後重新開放學校的示威活動。 2020 年,「黑人的命也是命」聲援抗議活動在大批警力駐守下和平舉行。工會積極活躍且具影響力。巴貝多近期沒有恐怖主義歷史,政治暴力也不是巴貝多社會的特徵。該國於 2021 年過渡為共和國,廢除了英國君主的國家元首職位。民間組織運作不受限制。政府在透明度和監督方面受到批評,但政治環境保持穩定。旅行者無需擔心政治動盪。
應避免的區域
首都布里奇頓是巴貝多犯罪率最高的城市。由於經常有扒手和犯罪的報道,因此應始終避免前往螃蟹山。布里奇頓的納爾遜街和惠靈頓街是犯罪率較高的紅燈區,因此夜間應避免前往。聖勞倫斯峽的夜生活豐富多彩,但也存在風險。遊客報告曾遭遇騙子、毒販和咄咄逼人的計程車司機。該地區夜間光線昏暗,性別暴力(包括性騷擾和性侵犯)發生率很高。基督教堂市的長灘和聖露西教區的梅科克斯等偏僻海灘都曾發生過攻擊事件。天黑後,請避免前往偏僻地區、僻靜的小巷和海灘。聖邁克爾教區,尤其是黑岩街、松樹街和薩金茨村等地區,槍枝暴力事件頻繁發生。基督教堂市的加爾山是暴力事件的爆發點。布里奇頓的天鵝街和寬街以扒竊事件聞名。對遊客來說,最安全的地區包括西海岸,綽號“白金海岸”,涵蓋聖詹姆斯教區和聖彼得教區。南海岸,尤其是聖菲利普、奧伊斯廷斯和斯佩茨敦,被認為是安全的。東海岸的巴斯謝巴很少發生犯罪。度假區通常都有額外的保全措施。
