| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines tourist perceptions of crime-safety and attitudes towards risk when visiting Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) in Cape Town in the summer of 2008. Survey data of more than 300 domestic and international tourists is explored during their visit to TMNP. Based on a linear regression analysis, it is found among others that although visitors had personal safety concerns, they are still likely to return to TMNP, recommending it to others. It is also found out that respondent's individual characteristics e.g. age, nationality, and the visit's purpose influenced their perceptions of crime-safety. Perceptions that TMNP is unsafe tended to increase with respondent's age. Respondents on holiday were more likely to perceive TMNP as safer than those on business or visiting friends and relatives. |
