“…Si bien cabe aclarar que la teoría de la percepción del riesgo o "Risk perception Theory" lleva un desarrollo de más de cuarenta años en el campo de la psicología asociada al estudio en la toma de decisiones, en turismo se comenzado a utilizar en forma reciente luego de los atentados al WTC, Madrid, Londres, y Bali entre otros, hechos por el cual la imagen del destino turístico se han visto seriamente afectados (Weber, 1998;Donilcar, 2005a;2005b;Domínguez, Burguette y Bernard, 2003;Kuto y Groves, 2004;;Aziz, 1995;Castaño, 2005;Robson, 2008;Floyd y Pennington-Gray, 2004;Paraskevas y Arendell, 2007;Mccartney, 2008;Sackett y Botterill, 2006;Essner, 2003;Araña y León, 2008;Bhattarai, Conway y Shrestha, 2005;Goldblatt y Hu, 2005;Tarlow, 2003;Bhattarai, Conway and Shrestha, 2005;Essner, 2003;Grosspietsch, 2005;Reichel, Fuchs and Uriely, 2007;Floyd, Gibson, Pennington-Gray and Thapa, 2003;Hall, 2003;Prideaux, 2005;Kozak, Crotts y Law, 2007;Yuan, 2005;Lee, 2008;Wong y Yeh, 2009;Reisinger y Mavondo, 2005).…”

EnsayoEl 11 de septiembre y la teoría de la percepción del riesgo Maximiliano Korstanje ii Universidad de Palermo (Argentina)Resumen: El turismo como actividad y como institución social se encuentra asociado a un sinnúmero de variables y a problemas que pueden afectar su desarrollo. Si bien los atentados terroristas han estado presentes como forma política de reivindicación tomando como rehenes a turistas extranjeros, la bibliografía especializada no dubita en señalar al ataque del 11 de Septiembre de 2001 en Nueva York como punto de quiebre en lo que respecta a la percepción del riesgo aplicado a los viajes. La aceptación que hoy goza esta teoría, en el mundo anglosajón, nos lleva a un abordaje de tipo crítico que intentará enfatizar en los puntos fuertes y débiles que plantea. El futuro de la teoría de la percepción del riesgo aplicada a destinos turísticos mantiene un campo de investigación novedoso en habla hispana. En un momento de cambio de milenio que se caracteriza por una proliferación de sentimientos de angustia y riesgos (Beck, 2006) (Luhmann, 2006), es de capital importancia continuar los abordajes empíricos en la materia. En ese contexto, el presente ensayo ha intentado, por un lado, sintetizar los estudios principales en la materia aportando un matiz crítico en aquellos aspectos que aún no han sido correctamente definidos.Palabras clave: Riesgo; Percepción; 11 de Septiembre; Destino Turístico Abstract: The variables that converge in tourism as a mass-activity and social institution are manifold as well as those problems which jeopardize its well-functioning. Even though, terrorist attacks have been presence in the past as a way to vindicate certain politic protagonism, it was no before than 11 September where scholars considered the risk perception as a prolific theory capable to explain the turbulent time we are now living. The future of this wave seems to be uncertain for Spanish native speakers. In a moment characterized by a crucial shift because of the advent of a new millennium, there is a proliferation not only of risks but also of anguishes and fears. Under such a context the present piece has focused on a synthesis of the main contributions of risk perception theory applied on travels at the same time it does not loose the sight on the troublesome aspects this theoretical perspective is unable to resolve.

“…Some of this tourism research has been directed towards understanding tourism in the tropics, thus providing a local base for preparing the present paper. (For a brief selection of examples in the last decade see Pearce 1999Pearce , 2005Pearce , 2008aMoscardo 2004a, 2004b;Moscardo 1999Moscardo , 2001Moscardo , 2004Moscardo , 2008Ormsby et al 2004;Ross 1998Ross , 2004Prideaux 2000Prideaux , 2005Valentine and Birtles 2004). At an additional and symbolic level, the English navigator Cook, after whom the university was named, played a major role in shaping the images of the tropics (particularly Padfic islands) through his extensive voyages and associated writing.…”

The origins of tourism and the foundations of tourism scholarship are in the temperate zones of the globe. While tropical destinations and themes have not been ignored in tourism study, a closer focus on the commonalities of tropical tourism settings is warranted. The defining common physical and social features of tropical locations include climate, political history and often modest levels of development. The perceptions of the tropics by external powers have also shaped the development of the region. The tourism related consequences of these features are distinctive patterns in seasonality, challenges in managing highly similar destination images and an array of natural and social resources which pose common management problems. Building on this context, the core aim of this paper is to encourage better benchmarking information for understanding and managing tourism in the tropics. The paper seeks to fulfil this aim both by outlining research topics to assist the management of tropical tourism and by using the tropics as a rich canvas for new directions in tourism study. Additionally, the role of tourism research in addressing pressing issues for the tropics is noted. Throughout, it is argued that there is much to be gained by more comparative studies of tourism processes and systems within tropical settings.

“…The literature also points out that, since tourism by its very nature involves and requires inter-country cooperation on many fronts, tourism policy assumes significance in order to shaping a country's engagement with the rest of the world (Prideaux, 2005).…”

Tourism is one of the fastest growing economic sectors in Southeast Asian countries, especially in countries such as Thailand and Singapore. The tourism and travel industry has been promoted as an integral part of the national development strategies for decades in these two countries. In this light, the paper identifies the causal determinants of the growth of the tourism and travel industry in Thailand and Singapore, using quarterly data from 2000-2012, under a Geweke causality framework. The empirical results suggest that for Thailand specifically, religious unrest, capturing an element of domestic instability and turbulence seems to affect international tourist arrivals significantly. In the case of Singapore, international tourist arrivals are driven by infrastructural variables covering airport facilities as well as policy variables, such as government expenditures on the tourism industry.
