Tourism Security: Strategies for Effectively Managing Travel Risk and Safety

In the post-9/11 world the field of tourism security has become an important part of both security management and tourism. Private security professionals and police departments in tourism cities, as well as hotels, major attractions, and theme parks, have all come to realize that tourism security and safety issues (often called tourism surety) are essential for industry survival and success. In Tourism Security, leading expert Peter Tarlow guides the reader through a study of tourism security themes and best practices. Topics include the relationship between tourism security and the economy, hotel and motel security, risk and crisis management, public places, transportation, and legal issues. This book also includes case studies of four major tourist destinations. With each destination, an interview with a police or security representative is included-providing unique, in-depth insight to security concerns.
