Barbados

Barbados has a very low crime rate, which makes it a popular travel destination for those seeking safety. On the other hand, criminal activity has increased substantially. Due of this escalation, the US State Department issued a Level 2 travel advisory in January 2024. A spike in violent episodes, including several homicides in a short time, prompted the warning. Violence associated with gangs is connected to several of these instances.

Security Concerns for Travelers

The advisory cautioned that “Violent crime, such as burglaries, armed robberies, and sexual assaults, occur in both tourist and non-tourist areas.” At Black Mountain Solutions (BMS), we identify the greatest risks to travelers as the potential to fall victim to crime when visiting areas on the island that are not recommended or known for high crime rates—essentially being in the wrong place at the wrong time. To mitigate these risks, we advise travelers to use chauffeured services provided by vetted, trusted drivers who are familiar with the island’s risks, safe practices, and no-go zones.

Our local team boasts extensive experience working with VIP travelers, often collaborating on the ground with U.S. Security Agents (VIP Protection) when high-net-worth clients visit the island.

Another significant threat we recognize at BMS is the potential for burglaries or home invasions at private residences, which can lead to property damage, loss, emotional trauma, and physical harm. We stress the importance of travelers ensuring adequate property access control, complemented by surveillance or perimeter patrolling, such as security guards and monitoring systems.
