According to the angle of the travel and tourism is a form of convalescence and positive interests of people outside the residence. They travel with purpose: leisure, recreation, scenic view, historic, cultural and artistic projects. But if considered in the perspective of an economic sector, tourism is a business that is a highly effective synthesis in many aspects such as improved understanding of the natural, historical traditions and national culture, thereby contributing part augment love the country; for foreigners is the friendship with my people.

Tourism plays a vital role in economic development in most countries around the world. The industry has not only direct economic impact, but also significant indirect and influential impacts. There is agreement among experts that the travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing of global economy. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourism receipts surpass US$ 1 trillion in 2011, growing about 3.8%up from 2010 (WTO, 2012).

The current research paper covers the main effects of global tourism, both positive and negative. International tourism is a significant sector of business. For some countries it is one of the main sources of national income. The most important positive economic effects of tourism are as follows: increase in budget revenues, production expansion, stimulation of investments, and improvement in the population’s welfare.

Tourism industry is not only one part of selling an air ticket or a room in the hotel but it is included the whole branches of business that provide the products and services desired by people while they are away from home.

Besides the strategic campaigns “Tourism for Tomorrow” and “Policies for growth”, the “Freedom to Travel” campaign takes a major part in the communication and negation between the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and other tourism stakeholders, predominantly the governmental level. “Ensuring the right of people to travel safe, securely and efficiently across international borders” (WTTC, 2014, p. 10) is the mission statement of this campaign that aims to support the rapid growth of tourism around the globe by simplifying visa and immigration processes.

According to Enders and Sanders( 2002: 145-146), Terrorism is defined as, “The premeditated use or threat of use of extra normal violence of brutality by subnational groups to obtain a political, religious or ideological objective through intimidation of a huge audience usually not directly involved with the policy making that the terrorists seek to influence.” Tourist act as an unofficial ambassador between countries, binding people and countries; these tourist and tourist spots have been targets for the terrorist. Terrorist, using unlawful violence to intimidate towards the civil people, gain political gains. When a tourist spot is attacked, it weakens the binding between countries. In today’s world, the intention of hurting people and gaining attention have become easier through the internet. This cause tourist to rethink their chosen tourist spot due to their safety; starting from delaying the destination to avoiding it totally. Terrorist attacks impulsively affect the tourism industry in many different ways, whether be it social, political or economic, leaving a short term to long term effect on the tourism industry.

Brutal attacks by terrorist outfits, fast disseminations of viruses and SARS, naturally occurring disasters causing widespread deaths, and other tragedies will put into jeopardy the development of tourism the world over, in decades to come. Recently carried out field research regarding tourism has therefore given much consideration to risk perception theory. It has also focused on what importance risk perception theory holds in the decision-making process whilst improving the image of any given tourist destination. But studies like these ones have oftentimes proved to be shallow, incongruous and problematic. Planners, scholars and experts nevertheless agree that with regard to tourist safety, sustainable policy mechanisms are required. It is of utmost importance to shed light on Ulrich Beck’s contributions for acquiring increased understanding of risk perception issues.

Terrorism in the world is becoming a huge problem. America didn’t see anything as a threat with traveling until the tragedy on September 11, 2001 took place.

In the international tourism industry, the tourist is the consumer. An individual must be traveling outside of his or her home country for a period of time lasting less than one year (Socci, 2016). The consumer group encompasses several different segments, as tourism is not limited to leisure. Rather, there are several motivations for traveling abroad and partaking in international tourism. Motivations for traveling internationally include leisure, business, family matters, and seeking of medical treatment (2016).
