| Abstract: | This paper aims at presenting a model incl. central constructs for the measurement of travellers' characteristics in a perceived unsafe destination. Three empirical case studies are used to test the relevance and explanatory power of stable factors regarded as crises-resistant and dependent aspects seen as crises-sensitive. In total, over 900 tourists completed a standardized questionnaire in three regions confronted with or threatened by terrorist attacks as a specific form of tourist crisis in Bali, Indonesia, in Sinai, Egypt and in Catalonia, Spain. Among others, the results in Bali predominantly justify the model of crises-stable and crises-resistant indicators. Considering influences on the stable level values referring to openness for change and to self transcendence have the highest influence on travel needs. |
