Positive factors in the tourism of Thailand have been known as the hospitality, kindness of Thai people, beautiful natures, and strong strategy of tourism industry by the government of Thailand. Tourism industry in Thailand is a major component to the current economic foundations of the country and is an important component of economic growth in the future. Risks that may be a threat to the tourism industry in Thailand include the unrest that occurred in southern area, feelings of the people about lack of political stability.

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).

Britain has been over the news due to the British exit the European Union, which this event is known as Brexit (Hunt, 2016). This decision brought a large impact on every country in Britain, but the Britain has not started negotiate with European Union about adapting regulations to minimize their negative consequences. Before people can list potential impacts of Brexit on Britain’s tourism, it is important for people to understand how well the Britain was doing in the tourism industry. In addition, it is important to analyze and understand what type of tourism impacts on Britain. So, people would know how Brexit will change its policy and what impacts will bring to their current life. It will provide an idea of how the changes of regulations will impact different countries and the region. Thus, it provides an understanding of how tourism helps to develop the Britain in terms of environmental impacts, socio-cultural impacts, and economic impacts.

In this document, we are going to show the generalities of the country as well as the information related to the touristic development of the country and within the regions. As for the tourism development, there are many aspects that have influenced the recent development of the infrastructure and the international image; the role of the government has been essential for this change with all the laws and regulations that have been created in order to show where we are and where we are going.

All these incidences ultimately led to the questioning of security issues within travelling to differing countries. Lee and Warner stated that ‘a generally dismal world economy and fear of flying associated with terrorism,’ led to numerous flight cancellations and affected airlines negatively (2005, p. 17). All these events accumulated to world-wide fear and caution resulting in a global economic downturn in tourism, thus affecting hotel businesses, airlines and other tourist services, hence affecting Taiwan’s economic status.

Safety in numbers has always been a deterrent method when leaving or traveling through places that are not safe. But without proper physical security measures set in place when leaving any facility or building the need for a crowd will be of no use. Proper physical security requires accessing the risk that may cause

A few travelers that were present on Bastille day said that there were “no police or security measures in place to protect them especially all along the beach.” (Laure Teresi, Washington Post) Although countless people have complained of the lack of security officials are responding that they “have reached the maximum we could reach in terms of security measures… security now is now more a qualitative problem then a quantitative problem.” (Bolstering, Washington post) The threat of security is not only everyone safety but also the decrease of people traveling to other countries because of the threat of their lives.

From an environmental perspective, it is apparent that the world is starting to realise that increases in tourism are having a negative impact on the environment. This is due to increases in energy consumption, which in turn heightens the effects of global warming (Neto, 2002). There are many controls that governments are trying to put into place, such as flight rationing (Liverpool Business School, 2009). However, it can be argued that these have not really begun to have a significant effect on tourism, as they are still insufficient to dampen demand. It may become a problem in future years, as the number of controls is likely to increase. Perhaps the largest environmental factor would be natural disasters, like Hurricane Katrina (Cashell, 2005) and the tsunami that hit Asia in December 2004 (Birkland, 2006). These will impact negatively on people’s confidence in visiting places that have been hit severely by such disasters.

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.

The report has consisted of an analysis of tourism in UAE to compare with tourism in Oman and the analysis was based on information gathered from a variety of sources: website of each countries, books and from interviews with some tourists.

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.

Tourism is an activity that contributes to economic development of a country. This is because it generates revenue which can then be used to finance development projects. Apart from generating revenue for the government, tourism can create employment, development of transport infrastructure such as roads and railway lines, promotion of cultures and it contributes to international cohesion. Culture exchange and adventure are some of the prioritized things tourist often look forward to in their travelling’s. More so countries make huge investments in hotels and other luxurious resorts in an effort to attract more tourist. Additionally, the growth of a country can be equated to the level of how their tourism is. In as much as it is a revitalizing entity in development, tourism has its challenges. One of the major challenges faced by the tourism industry is terrorism. This paper will discuss in detail the impact of terrorism on the United States tourism industry.

Terrorism has become one of the biggest threats to the security of any entity, especially after the incident of 9/11. Terrorism is that kind of violent activity which has a strong impact on a wide range of audience. By doing this activity randomly, terrorist frighten the audience and increase its angst. Terrorist depend upon various methods like assassination, threats, armed attacks, hostage taking etc. domestic terrorism starts and ends in one country but transnational terrorism involves many countries. That’s why 9/11 incident has transnational nature as in it was planned in some country, implemented in USA and victims were from 80 different countries (Enders, 2004). Airports are one of the most probable victims of terrorism. In such attack, passengers become totally helpless and due to the severity and unique condition of airplane attack, it spread horror on the large extent (Kaplan, 2006). Many developed countries started to plan and implement a better security operation administration for their airports after that incident. USA established a new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in order to make a better and secure airport environment. (Simon, 2007). Similarly UK also passed Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, whose purpose was to improve security management at
