Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Economics - Macro-economics, general, grade: 2, Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, language: English, abstract: Introduсtion Tourism is among the world's biggest industry (Eilat & Einav, 2004). It has a very big impaсt on the eсonomy and bring a lot of money for it. The tourism industry is susсeptible to shoсks, suсh as terror attaсks or the inсidenсe of infeсtious disease (Edmonds & Mak, 2006). In the 21st сentury, tourism emerges as a signifiсant inсome generating seсtor as well as weapon for growth and survival for various сountries. I seleсt Enders and Sandler's (2002) view of terrorism as -the premeditated use or threat of use of extra-normal violenсe or brutality by sub-national groups to obtain a politiсal, religious, or ideologiсal objeсtive through intimidation of a huge audienсe, usually not direсtly involved with the poliсymaking that the terrorists seek to influenсe.- Although the motives of terrorists may be very different, their aсtions follow a standard pattern with terrorist inсidents assuming a variety of forms: airplane hijaсkings, kidnappings, assassinations, threats, bombings, and suiсide attaсks. Terrorist attaсks are intended to apply suffiсient pressures to a government. Sinсe 80s, sсholars from diverse disсiplines are trying to examine the relationship between terrorism and tourism (Riсhter 1989; Riсhter and Waugh 1986), the eсonomiс impaсts of terrorism (Enders and Sandler 1991; Enders, Sandler and Parise 1992), impliсations for tourism marketing (Brady and Widdows 1988; D'Amore and Anuza 1986; Hollier 1991; Sonmez 1994). The number of eсonomiсs of terrorism studies has inсreased dramatiсally sinсe 11 September 2001, where some 3,000 people died (Enders and Sandler, 2006), opening up a new dimension in terrorism, as well as a series of other terror attaсks between 2001 and 2003. In the last deсade a lot of сountries had terror attaсks, suсh as Franсe (2012, 2015), US, Spain, the Netherlan

Book excerpt: The rapid change in consumer preferences pertaining to tourism brings an increase in demand elasticity together. Besides, the fact that security gradually gains importance in tourism has become an important factor that affects demand. Global terror, which gains impetus with the globalization across the world, has been affecting tourism where the effects of globalization are felt the most. Seasonality of tourism and frequent occurrence of crises led by terror have caused tourism to rank first among sectors with high venture in terms of both business and tourism. Although tourism and terrorism are completely different concepts, they are mentioned together in public opinion in recent years. Economic, political and social chaos that is brought about by the partnership of terrorism and tourism reflects upon not only national but also international context and that extends the activity and run of terrorism while it decreases the activity of tourism.

This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 2.1, University of Plymouth (Cornwall College Newquay (in partnership with UoP)), course: Marine Sports Science (BSc Hons), language: English, abstract: The tourism industry has significant repercussions in regards to economic value to destinations worldwide but is susceptible to external shocks such as terrorism as tourist numbers follow terroristic activity causing economic damage to destinations beyond managerial control. Surf tourism is of growing economic, social and environmental value to destinations in Indonesia due to the region’s abundance of high quality waves and resulting attractiveness to surfers however, it is a region frequented by terrorist activity. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of terrorism on commercial surf tourism as a sub segment of the global tourism industry. Data was obtained using a survey consisting of 5 closed ended questions assessing IAO variables of traveling surfers regarding the perception of terrorism as a risk influencing destination choice and travel plans. 42 usable responses were collected over a three-month period from January 7th to March 28th 2016. Results of the statistical analysis suggest that surfers demonstrate a different behaviour in comparison to other tourists and have a low perception of terrorism as a risk influencing destination choice. In fact, from the data and statistical analysis it appears that the significant reliance on the quality of waves at a destination outweighs the risk of terrorism as an influence on destination choice, therefore accepting the tested hypothesis, which stated that surf tourists do not perceive terrorism as a high risk influencing destination choice or travel plans. Suggestions for future research include a replication of this study using a larger sample size and changes to the design of the questionnaire in order to improve upon limitations and further investigate conspicuous findings of this study as well as potential links to the field of behavioural psychology.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Terrorism written by Erica Chenoweth and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Terrorism systematically integrates the substantial body of scholarship on terrorism and counterterrorism before and after 9/11. In doing so, it introduces scholars and practitioners to state of the art approaches, methods, and issues in studying and teaching these vital phenomena. This Handbook goes further than most existing collections by giving structure and direction to the fast-growing but somewhat disjointed field of terrorism studies. The volume locates terrorism within the wider spectrum of political violence instead of engaging in the widespread tendency towards treating terrorism as an exceptional act. Moreover, the volume makes a case for studying terrorism within its socio-historical context. Finally, the volume addresses the critique that the study of terrorism suffers from lack of theory by reviewing and extending the theoretical insights contributed by several fields - including political science, political economy, history, sociology, anthropology, criminology, law, geography, and psychology. In doing so, the volume showcases the analytical advancements and reflects on the challenges that remain since the emergence of the field in the early 1970s.

Offering socio-cultural perspectives and multidisciplinary insights from leading scholars, the book explores contemporary issues, challenges and trends. Organised into four parts, the handbook begins with an introductory section that explores contemporary issues, challenges and trends that tourism cities face today. A range of topics are explored, including sustainable urban tourism, overtourism and urbanisation, the impact of terrorism, visitor–host interactions, as well as reflections on present and future challenges for tourism cities. In Part II the marketing, branding and markets for tourism cities are considered, exploring topics such as destination marketing and branding, business travellers and exhibition hosting. This section combines academic scholarship with real-life practice and case studies from cities. Part III discusses product and technology developments for tourism cities, examining their supply and impact on different travellers, from open-air markets to creative waterfronts, from social media to smart cities. The final Part offers examples of how urban tourism is developing in different parts of the world and how worldwide tourism cities are adapting to the challenges ahead. It also explores emerging forms of specialist tourism, including geology and ecology-based tourism, socialist heritage and post-communist destination tourism. This handbook fills a notable gap by offering a critical and detailed understanding of the diverse elements of the tourist experience today. It contains useful suggestions for practitioners, as well as examples for theoretical frameworks to students in the fields of urban tourism and tourism cities. The handbook will be of interest to scholars and students working in urban tourism, heritage studies, human geography, urban studies and urban planning, sociology, psychology and business studies.
