TERRORISM AND ITS IMPACTS ON THE TOURISM INDUSTRY
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Geografie Politica - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
The tourism industry is considered one of the most important cogged wheels of the global economy. Numerous countries – specially emerging and least developed - have benefited from the growing number of tourists that visit them. Ironically, in these countries, terrorist acts generated by local groups and organizations have scared off tourists and have created a negative image for specific destinations. The present paper tries to verify the existence of a connection between tourism and terrorism and to present the responses of the industry toward these acts focusing on the US market.
