Is hiking in a region with tigers the same danger level as with grizzly bears in states like Alaska?

I know tigers kill far more people every year than grizzly bears, but I wonder if population demographics play a role. Tigers are native mostly to South / SouthEast Asia where nearly 3 billion people live. This high population density means far more encounters as opposed to grizzlies who live in very sparsely populated regions. So my question is if tigers are actually a danger to hikers, or if they are actually like grizzlies where you just need something like bear spray and you’re safe to hike in their territory?

Giant male lion 300kg+.

This Lion for sure is bigger and longer than most Lions. But he looks like a bison from behind.
