The Impact of security challenges on tourism development
Abstract: Terrorist acts are more and more prevalent nowadays. Events that threaten the safety, lives and health of people are becoming more and more present on a global level. Exclusive summer resorts and attractive terrorist destinations were the target of terrorist attacks. How in what way such negative phenomena affect tourism at the international level, whether security risks have a disincentive effect on tourism and tourist activity and how much people are really afraid of terrorism, are some of the issues addressed in this paper. The impact of terrorism on tourism is very harmful. Terrorism dissimulates tourism, deterring tourists from dangerous destinations, which are often targeted by terrorist organizations. The very knowledge that a certain tourist destination has often and continuously been a hotbed of terrorism with great consequences for the lives and physical integrity of tourists, negatively affects the decision of tourists when choosing the place they want to visit. Safety is one of the key factors when choosing a tourist destination, so it is logical that every tourist expects it to be guaranteed when choosing a place for their vacation. Also, a significant issue is the issue of building a security control system, assessment of security risks and protection from them, in order to raise the quality of tourist offers and services. World tourists expect to be given accurate and timely information on the security situation in a particular country that is considered a tourist destination. Therefore, any cover – up of information, their simulation and faking can only act as a dissimulating for the tourist population.
