Abstract

The aim of the paper is to analyze the modern security environment and its impact on tourism destination development. Contemporary security environment is a result of historical events affected by the elements of the contemporary safety and political environment. Ground security concepts, which dominate contemporary security environment, are pointed out and further linked to the development of the modern security threats shaping tourism destination development. We are pointing out how the major security threats influence the tourism destination development. Methodology is based on secondary analysis of literature. Several current case studies are made to support conclusions on relationship between security and tourism destination developments.Keywords: Safety, Security, Tourism destination, Development utIcaj bezbednosnIh pretnjI na razvoj turističKe destinacije sažetak Cilj rada je analiza savremenog bezbednosnog okruženja i njegovog uticaja na razvoj turističke destinacije. Savremeno bezbednosno okruženje je posledica istorijskih događaja i oblikovano je elementima savremenog koncepta sigurnosti i političkog okruženja. Koncepti kopnene bezbednosti koji dominiraju savremenim bezbednosnim okruženjem se ističu i dalje povezuju sa razvojem savremenih bezbednosnih pretnji, oblikujući razvoj turističkih destinacija. Autori ukazuju na to kako veće pretnje bezbednosti utiču na razvoj turističkih destinacija. Metodologija se zasniva na sekundarnoj analizi literature. Urađeno je nekoliko studija slučaja na savremenim primerima kako bi se podržali zaključci o odnosu između bezbednosti i razvoja turističke destinacije.

A socio-technical approach to food safety incident analysis using the AcciMap model in the hospitality sector

An example of this, was the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in the Republic of Korea in which dramatically decreased the influx of tourists, leading to an economic loss of USD$2.6 in tourism revenue (Joo et al, 2019).…”
