Abstract
Concepts of terrorism, political turmoil, and war appear unrelated to tourism. Closer
examination of their points of convergence and impacts on tourism reveals otherwise.
This paper examines literature focusing on the relationships between tl1ese phenomena.
Research themes which emerge from available studies include impacts of terrorism and
political instability on tourist demand, motives of terrorist in targeting tourist, using
tourist as a political tool, the effects of political violence on destination image, crisis
management, and recovery marketing efforts.
The intend of this research is to synthesize research on these relationships, to present a
comprehensive index ofrelevant publications, and to suggest topics for future research.
