Abstract
The twenty-first century has seen incredible growth in terrorism and related events that impact the tourism industry. This research outlines implications for the tourism industry, in an effort to determine the relationship between terrorism-related events and tourism. Specifically, events in the tourism industry are examined through both tourism and terrorism lenses—which provides a unique perspective. This research focuses on the response to these industries throughout the time period. The research concludes with a discussion of the challenges and implications for the tourism industry due to terrorism. The goal of the research is to address the question: is there a correlation between the events, the reactions, and the implications?
