| description | Practically every day there are terrorist attacks executed somewhere.
For this reason, the need to reveal the impact of terrorism on
tourism sector of Lithuania and how well it is ready for this challenge
occurs. The analysis of scientific literature and secondary data
was used as well as two surveys (qualitative and quantitative) were
carried out. Since the possibility of a terrorist attack in Lithuania is
trivial, the research focuses on the Lithuanian outbound tourism
sector. The survey of interaction between terrorism and tourism and
impact of terrorism to tourism in different countries is provided. It is
worth emphasising that tourists become the victims of not only preplanned
but also of individual terrorist attacks. Events of recent
several years have caused the emergence of the terrorist tourism,
when people with radical attitudes travel to, e.g., Syria. Despite the
various attacks and subsequent dips in tourism the world of travel
and hospitality has entered a new era of growth and transformation.
The purpose of the research was to identify how Lithuanian tourists
and experts perceive dangers and whether this affect their choice of
trips and what measures can reduce the impact of terrorist attacks
on tourism. Both the Lithuanian tourists and experts understand
that the threat from terrorism has been growing, nevertheless the
comparison with other surveys can lead to the statement that there
is a specific tourist market in Lithuania which is characteristic of
courage, inflexibility in terms of price and poor perception of possible
threats. |
