Abstract: War, terror, catastrophes and their impact on tourist markets.Wars, terror attacks and natural catastrophes have a significant impact on the demand for the affected tourist areas. The reporting of the news on such events has a strong influence on the image which tourists perceive of the threat to their personal security. This may cause a widespread refusal to travel into the specific area where a crisis of the tourist industry will be the result. As a consequence of increasing social distance between potential tourists and the affected areas and in combination with the “neighbourhood effect”, the perception of serious risks is transferred from the actually affected area to the whole region and promotes a growing tendency towards regionalisation of tourist demand. Are crises, wars and catastrophes catalysts of a regionalisation in the global tourist industry?
