“…So far, the studies have been conducted in the areas of social sciences (Agarwal, Page, and Mawby, 2021;Malleka, Booyens, and Hoogendoorn, 2022), business and management (Zou & Meng, 2020;Tarulevicz and Ooi, 2021), and environmental sciences (Tang, Wu, Zheng, & Lyu, 2018). In addition to the general issues of tourism safety and security, a significant part of the research focuses particularly on recreation safety (Wu, 2015;Karvunis & Kapilevich, 2017;Cheng, Chen, Hong & Chen, 2022), managing tourism safety and risk (Coxon, Dimmock & Wilks, 2007;Kasum, Žanić Mikuličić & Kolić, 2018;Hamm & Su, 2021), food security (Pirani & Arafat, 2016;Addinsall, Weiler, Scherrer & Glencross, 2017;Huang & Tsai, 2021), environmental security (Irene, aet al, 2010;Hall, 2013;Casares Blanco, Fernández-Aracil & Ortuño-Padilla, 2019), tourism ecological security (Xu, Liu, Li & Zhong, 2017;Tang, Wu, Zheng, Lyu, 2018;Yang, Jia, Wang & Zhang, 2021), tourists' safety perception (Wang, 2014;Peters & Papathanassis, 2019;Zou &Meng, 2020;Wang, Tarin, Liu, & Zhengf, 2022), impact of terrorism on safety (Chen & Noriega, 2004;Korstanje, 2017;Asongu & Nwachukwu, 2019;Agarwal, Page & Mawby, 2021), corporate security in tourism (Repnik & Antošová, 2021), and community safety (Cheng, Fang & Yin, 2022;Yamada, Heo, King & Fu, 2011).…”

Safety and security are among the most basic needs in life and are essential in tourism as in other research areas; thus, researchers need to focus on the topic. Since the 1970s, when the first scientific paper on tourism safety was published, the number of research in this field has significantly increased. This study aims to carry out a bibliometric analysis on tourism safety and security research conducted over the past forty-five years. The literature on the subject includes 597 studies obtained from the Scopus database. VOSviewer scientific mapping software programme was used to perform the analysis. The software covers keywords of tourism safety and security topics, influential authors, publications, journals, and countries and identifies several techniques such as co-citation, concept association, and bibliographic coupling. The rapid increase in the number of research and citations shows that the topic of tourism safety and security has drawn the attention of researchers in the last 12 years. The analysis results revealed that the study with the strongest link with other publications is “Tourist's perceptions of safety and security while visiting Cape Town”. The researcher who contributed the most to the field with the author citation is Michael C. Hall; the journal making the most substantial impact is Tourism Management. Finally, the most productive country is United States of America. The current study contributes to expanding the literature on tourism safety and security and offers an overview for further research in this field.

“…A significant attention has been paid to the safety in tourism in the last couple of decades, due to the nature of its services, respectively their intangibility and provision of experiences (Wang, 2014). Safety and security of a destination are the factors of extreme relevance which tourists take into consideration within their decision-making process when choosing a holiday destination, and especially when thinking of visiting a destination that is somewhat or completely unknown to them.…”

Purpose – The pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus left a significant negative mark on the world economy, and tourism industry. It has also significantly affected the perception and behavior of tourists when it comes to the safety of a tourist destination. To continue to record a positive recovery trend, destinations must undertake scientific and professional research, and based on the results consider and develop new development strategies for the development of tourism in the post-pandemic period. The perception of risk in tourists is changing, which ultimately has an impact on their future behavior when choosing a holiday destination. Opatija Riviera is a destination with a rich and long tourist tradition, which until before the pandemic was perceived as safe, as evidenced by the continuous growth of tourist turnover. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of monitoring whether and to what extent tourists perceive Opatija Riviera as a safe tourist destination and based on the findings to offer developmental guidelines for the post-pandemic period. Methodology – Data collection was conducted during June and July 2022, using an online survey questionnaire. 152 respondents agreed to participate in research. The basic measurement instrument was based on the Tourists’ Perceived Safety at Destinations (TPSD) scale developed by Xie et al. (2020b), i.e. initial items (25) proposed by these authors. To extract the dimensions of perceived tourist safety, the authors primarily used exploratory factor analysis. Findings – by using the exploratory factor analysis the following factors were identified: perception of safety of human elements (PSH), safety of facilities and equipment (PSFE), safety of natural environments (PSNE), perceived safety of social environments (PSSE) and safety of management elements (PSM). The results for PSH, PSFE, PSNE and PSSE have proven to be satisfactory in terms of how tourists perceive them as safe and reliable, which is not the case with the PSM. The f indings for PSM indicate the need for additional investments aimed towards improvement of protection of tourist´s safety (safety of the construction, safety of information and visibility of warning sign about security in Opatija Riviera). Originality of the research – this research contributes to the theory by presenting relevant literature content in safety perception in tourism. The empirical contribution derives from the fact that no similar research was conducted on Opatija Riviera until now. Its findings set the basis for future empirical research that will be conducted in the post-COVID period in Opatija Riviera, based on which it will be possible to plan further developmental activities aimed towards improving tourist´s safety during their stay.

“…Tourist decision-making is closely related to the potential risks experienced on vacation (Henderson, 2007), such as financial, health, physical, crime, terrorism, social, psychological, and natural disaster risks (Floyd & Pennington, 2004). Every tourist has a limit to risk tolerance, so security is a fundamental consideration when selecting a destination, especially for international travel (Wang, 2014), and tourists are likely to reconsider their travel plans if a disaster hits the destination they choose. When the risk is considered too significant, the final decision for tourists may be in the form of cancellation, rescheduling, or moving to another safer destination.…”

This study aims to explore the impact of multiple disasters, such as pandemics, natural disasters, and terrorism, on inbound tourists in Indonesia. Using a panel data approach, we studied the impact of these disasters by analyzing data regarding international tourist flow from 19 countries and nine ports of entry from 2008 to 2020. The results showed that different types of disasters affected inbound tourists differently in terms of magnitude and significance. In addition, some disasters had a longer-lasting impact, which can be seen from the significant negative impact in the year following the disaster. We also uncovered an impact that varied among tourist origin countries according to their responsiveness to the disaster. The findings imply that sustainable tourism development can not be achieved without understanding how disasters affect tourism.
