IMPACT OF THE CRISIS ON TOURISM
Almazaga Ćatović
Sažetak
Travel and tourism are more susceptible to disasters and crises than other economic activities. Threats from terrorist attacks, natural disasters, through financial crises to various dangers from infectious pandemics and climate change have a strong negative impact on travel and tourist traffic, and thus on the multiple effects of tourism on the overall economy. Different levels of risk are significantly determined by the motivation of tourists to travel, and the development of their awareness of alternative tourist destinations. Unlike regional crises that only sporadically affected the trend of tourism development, since the beginning of the 21st century we have been faced with several major crises that have drastically affected or are affecting the reduction of tourism demand in the world: the financial crisis of 2008-2009. the Covid-19 epidemic, especially pronounced in 2020 and 2021, continuous climate changes, and the war in Ukraine in 2022. These crises significantly threaten the safety of tourists, the environment, and diminish the image of tourist destinations. Therefore, more and more attention has recently been paid to the study of the impact of the crisis on the development of tourism, which is also the subject of research in this article.
