Impact of terrorism & conflict on tourism – Thematic Research

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

There is very little that travel and tourism companies can do to prepare for the threats of terrorism & conflict beyond increasing security.

This thematic research report takes an in-depth look at the theme of Terrorism & Conflict and the impact it has on the industry, its players, and also on tourists. The report covers both positive and negative trends contributing to terrorism & conflict, real-life case studies and a unique thematic analysis of the impact on the industry including recommendations for travel & tourism companies. Additionally, we highlight the public and private companies involved with or affected by terrorism & conflict.

“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.”

It identifies the main trends related to the terrorism & conflict theme, classified into three categories: trends contributing to terrorism & conflict, negative trends as a result of terrorism & conflict, and positive trends that can be taken from terrorism & conflict.

This report identifies several case studies to illustrate the impact of terrorism & conflict on the industry, including examples from P&O Cruises and Palestinian Airlines. Additionally, it provides an insight into what companies and DMOs are doing to tackle the issue.

We highlight public and private companies involved with or affected by terrorism & conflict, including Airbnb and Carnival.

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.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
