Abstract: Abstract The subject of the study paper is the risk perception and the decisions of Gen Y tourists regarding tourist destinations in the context of increased terrorist risk in the world. It is examined how Millennial travelers from Poland and Slovakia perceive the travel risk choosing tourist destinations in the context of terrorist risks. Both studied countries are recognized to belong to a region that has a low terrorism risk index. It is examined whether they are willing to forgo safety and security in exchange for economic advantage deciding to outbound travel. In addition it is checked whether sex, frequency of traveling, and travel expenses differentiate risk perception among Millennials. The research results showed that a large proportion of Millennials in this region of Europe are willing to accept tourist risks in the face of terrorism and agree to higher-value travel costs than safety. Gender and the level of travel expenses are factors that determine the perception of travel risk among Millennials, but the frequency of traveling does not.
