Abstract

Few would dispute the assertion that the twenty-first century has already begun with significant obstacles for the burgeoning tourism industry. The September 11 hijackings, Afghanistan and the continuing war in Iraq, the Bali bombings, SARS, the bird flu, the Madrid train attacks, US hurricanes, European floods and most recently the devastating South Asian tsunami have each added greater uncertainty to the pursuit of travel and leisure. While the very nature of tourism and its capacity to offer so many choices amd alternatives may have meant that the overall eddect on global tourism figures has been mimimal - many individual destinations can ill afford a significant or sustained loss of consumer confidence.
