how did terrorism affect tourism?
923429
In general, tourist places hit by terror attacks have less tourists - who want to be blown up during vacation. You can see how the number of tourists dropped in Israel and in Egypt.\n\nBut all over the world, the number of tourists in the last year was not less than a year ago.\n\nThe economic importance of tourism is undeniable. According to the World Tourism\nOrganization (WTO), international tourism generated $476 billion in 2000, a figure that accounts\nfor roughly one-tenth of global total tourism revenue, suggesting that, with domestic revenue,\ncurrent total tourism revenue could be as high as five trillion dollars.\n1\nFor many countries in the\ndeveloping world, tourism is a critical source of revenue generation and therefore a major\ncomponent of economic development, a relationship that rewards states when positive\nconditions such as a strong global economy exist. But what happens when negative conditions\nexist, such as terrorism?\nThe impact of terrorism on a state’s economy may be enormous, leading to unemployment,\nhomelessness, deflation, crime and other economic and social ills. According to Adam Blake and\nM. Thea Sinclair, two scholars who have studied the impact of the September 2001 al Qaeda\nstrikes on the U.S. tourism industry, “The contribution of tourism and travel to both\nindustrialized and developing countries is now so great that any downturns in the level of\nactivity in the industry are a cause of concern. The repercussions extend beyond activities\ndirectly associated with tourism, notably airlines, hotels and catering, to sectors that supply\nintermediate or final goods that are purchased by firms and employees in the industry, so that all\nsectors of the economy are affected to a greater or lesser extent.”\n\nSee more at http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:XLJvHMKhuGUJ:sand.miis.edu/research/student_research/Essner_Tourist%2520Terrorism.pdf+tourism+terrorism&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2

Well one positive is that the country makes money that it can use towards things that the government subsidizes, etc.  More tourists means more money for the country.  Conversely, the money (at least in most countries) tends to go to corrupt and greedy governments and the people of the country never see it.

Probably Paris. The people of France really don't care about safety and the terrorist will kick 'em in the butt one of these days. A big city with no protection is asking for it.

I can see a potential problem. BUT it's a big tourist spot and I take them all the time and've never been stopped. Who is telling you this? Maybe start questioning their authority in this matter. Don't take 9/11 or guilt of it as an answer. So don't know what to tell you, if you're doing nothing wrong, keep doing what you're doing. If you're doing something wrong, shame.

Don't feel so bad. Even some American citizens have been denied flying to anyplace because their name was on a Terror Watch-list.\n\nDon't fault the government however. Blame the terrorists who started this whole mess. Every country's government is responsible for keeping citizens safe - and sometimes it gets really inconvenient.\n\nLike I said - if the terrorists have not started this mess to begin with, you would not have travel problems.

No.  Remember, most terrorists in democratic countries are second generation immigrants, like London's four subway bombers.  Also, most people who turn to terrorism while living in the Middle East are middle class - the poor are too busy trying to scrape by and the rich have no reason to upset the status quo.  The problem involves mostly how well immigrants assimilate into new environments and how easy those environments are to integrate into - some nations are easier than others - and the overall employment (not average income) rate of the country in question.

Terrorism is only terrorism, which ever side you remain. Killings  innocents in World Trade Center, At London Railway stations or in Delhi crowded Markets are always terrorism which ever side you are. F-16  are bombing remote villages because terrorist are hiding there.

I don't think there are many if any left to make our enemies.  When you research each country and find that it is dangerous for us to travel virtually anywhere it gives you the big picture. To keep from losing any money on tourism they do not always warn us how hostile these countries are toward us.  Sad, isn't it?

that wasn't terrorism, that was guellia war fare...some thing that the ameriacn military needs to "re-learn". because that is why we sucked sso bad in vietnam, & that is what is happening to our troops now in iraq. the modern idea of terrorism, is to blow $hit up, & kill as many people as possible while doing it. back then, in the 1700's, the worst thing done was just throwcrates of tea in to the harbor. a loss of product, thus a loss of wages, but no major loss of life!

It's the truth. Our occupation in Iraq increased the likelihood of terrorism around the world. The threat levels at home will increase greatly as well, all thanks to Bush!

it depends. MEDC's are less likely to become desert, yet it would have a large impact on income of the area, regardless, as the number of tourists would plummet, and jobs would become un-necessary

At this point of time the Department of tourism has not issued an American safety advisory, however, judging the violatle condition of Israel & Palastine I wouldn't be surprised if they do so in the near future. I want to tour part of Europe and have been told by an Air Force Major (friend) that if I do indeed want to plan that trip I need to get it done in the very near future.

If I understand your assignment correctly, our economy has been changed by terrorism due to 9-11 because of the shock to economies based on tourism (remember, people were afraid to travel); job losses, particularly in the service industry; and housing.  Because of the war against terrorism and the interference with oil production, costs have been driven up.  The higher oil price impacts everything because of freight costs: food trucked from warehouse to local grocer, manufacturing, housing materials.\n\nAlso, the higher price means we all pay more at the pump.  For those with low discretionary income ($ left after paying rent or mortgage and utilities, car payments or car lease payments) (aka fixed expenses), the higher gas price in effect drives down their wages because it is costing more to drive to work.  This extra expense means less money for other things, such as necessities as food, and less to spend on new clothes, CDs, and other manufactured goods, the sale of which brings up the US economy.

Today, the terrorists would need to bring a small army to keep the passengers away from them.  Back on 9/11 everyone thought hijackers would not kill the passengers because they needed them for bargaining chips.

Partly.  The US withdrawal sent the message that the US would cut and run once their nose got bloodied (no disrespect intended towards soldiers and marines that died there).  It emboldened the terrorists.
