Curaçao is an island located in the Caribbean Sea about 55 kilometers off the coast of Venezuela with a population of about 146,000 people. Curaçao is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The government is a parliamentary democracy under the constitutional monarchy. The chief of state is the King of the Netherlands represented by a governour, and the head of government is a prime minister.
In the 1600s, the Dutch colonized Curaçao and neighbouring Bonaire. Dutch Caribbean possessions, then called the Dutch West Indies, were reorganized in 1954 into the Netherlands Antilles. In 2010, the island became an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Dutch government is responsible for foreign policy and defence and oversight of financial affairs.
Tourism and the financial services sector are the mainstays of the Curaçao economy. The country is also an oil-refining center. Travellers enjoy visiting Willemstad, the capital, which is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, as well as the beautiful sandy beaches.

Curaçao中的安全性
人身安全
庫拉索島維持美國一級旅行警告,加拿大和英國也將其列為類似的低風險等級。輕微犯罪是遊客面臨最常見的威脅。扒手和搶劫事件多發於人潮擁擠的地區,尤其是在1月至3月的狂歡節期間。 2023年,共有68名遊客報告遭遇搶劫,其中Bapor Kibra、Bullenbaai、Pietermaai和Bredestraat Otrobanda等熱門地區發生的搶劫事件最多。海灘竊盜是指遊客在浮潛或游泳時將物品無人看管。汽車竊盜的目標是海灘和不安全停車場的租賃車輛,儘管當局已增加海灘停車場的保全人員。針對遊客的詐騙相對少見,但包括使用美元交易的貨幣兌換詐騙以及在ATM上主動提供幫助的個人。該島是南美洲毒品走私的中轉站,但遊客很少遇到這種有組織的犯罪活動。主要旅遊區都有警力駐守,其中包括一個專門的遊客保護小組。
極端暴力
暴力犯罪時有發生,但相對罕見,通常影響當地居民而非遊客。武裝搶劫、入室搶劫和性侵犯等暴力事件的報告數量很少。大多數暴力犯罪與遊客接觸不到的毒品交易和組織犯罪網絡有關。該島的兇殺案發生率波動較大,主要涉及遠離旅遊區的特定居住區的當地人。當暴力事件確實影響遊客時,通常發生在偏僻地區、偏僻的海灘和潛水員使用的非正式停車場,尤其是在天黑之後。一些遊客報告稱,在夜間人跡罕至的地區發生了零星的搶劫事件。政府尚未報告系統性地針對遊客進行暴力犯罪的事件。海灘區和自然景點偶爾會發生竊盜和攻擊事件。旅遊區保持定期巡邏,並受益於政府的安全投資,政府優先考慮旅遊業。
政治動盪
庫拉索島因其在荷蘭王國的地位而週期性地經歷政治緊張局勢。近期最嚴重的暴動發生在2020年6月,當時抗議荷蘭實施的緊縮措施和減薪的人群在威廉斯塔德演變成暴力衝突。示威者衝進阿姆斯特丹堡政府總部,奧特羅班達的商店遭到搶劫,警方使用催淚瓦斯驅散人群。當局實施宵禁,數十人被逮捕。抗議活動反映了民眾對荷蘭在新冠疫情期間財政援助所需預算削減的憤怒。 1969年的起義至今仍具有歷史意義,當時的勞工罷工演變成大規模騷亂,摧毀了威廉斯塔德市中心部分地區。如今,庫拉索島作為荷蘭王國的組成國,保持著穩定的政治環境。選舉以民主方式進行,實行多黨制。偶爾會發生政治示威活動,特別是針對經濟政策和與荷蘭的關係,但很少影響旅遊區。遊客應關注當地新聞,了解任何已宣布的抗議或示威活動,並避開人群聚集的區域。
應避免的區域
威廉斯塔德的幾個街區應避免前往,尤其是在夜間。這些地區包括 Koredor、Otrobanda 部分地區、Scharloo、Fleur de Marie、Seru Fortuna、Marchena、Seru di Kandela、Souax、Koraalspecht、Seru Loraweg、Dein、Kanga、Stone Rich、Koraal Specht(無限戰士幫的基地)和 Marie Pampoen。這些地區的貧窮率較高,犯罪率較高,包括幫派活動。市中心 Punda 雖然白天通常很安全,但夜間需要小心。 Mambo 海灘停車場曾發生竊盜事件。島嶼西部偏遠的海灘經常發生汽車入室盜竊事件,因此請保護好車輛並移除所有貴重物品。天黑後,無人巡邏的海灘會帶來風險。夜間應避免前往島上偏僻地區和光線昏暗的街道。據報告,潛水點附近的自然區域和偏遠停車場曾發生過竊盜和偶發的攻擊事件。白天,彼得馬伊、揚蒂爾和威廉斯塔德市中心等旅遊區相對安全。據報道,該島東端受到私人保護,應避免前往。
