“The effects of terrorism and conflict can leave a destination in a bad state. However, by increasing tourism, the economy can benefit directly and the destination will be more likely to receive foreign investment. Destinations can bounce back quickly as has been seen in France and the UK after multiple terrorist attacks in recent years, showing that tourism is a powerful and resilient industry.”

Key Highlights
Terrorist attacks often occur out of the blue and a destination can be sent into total disarray as a result. While conflicts are usually easier to predict and prepare for, travel companies ultimately have no power over decisions and the destructive effects can be even more widespread than that of a terrorist attack.
Some of the areas under the biggest threat of conflicts are rich with culture and could be huge tourist destinations if peace was restored. Despite the destruction and suffering that terrorism & conflict causes, there are occasions where a silver lining can be found.
NGOs are heavily involved in helping those affected by war and in rebuilding efforts, which are crucial to restore any viable travel and tourism industry. Efforts from DMOs as well as local companies are also needed to improve the public image of a destination after a terrorist attack or conflict.
Other travel and tourism companies involved with the theme are those who specialize in tours either to countries experiencing conflict or to destinations with places of interest related to past conflict.
The countries scoring highest in terms of risk are Syria, Yemen, Libya, Venezuela, and Burundi. Conflicts in these countries have destroyed infrastructure and prevented tourism industries from operating.
