Regardless of how society has evolved, travel and tourism have had a positive development since the end of Second World War. But now it seems that the perception of risk and danger is accentuated and the tourists choose destinations based on more safety and security for tourists.

Risks often seem to be based on different global activities and actions from different groups, which the individual can not affect or influence over. These perceived risks thus affect the development of tourism and travel in a global perspective.

This article would discuss the new threats to the global tourism due to the terrorist attacks that target different countries and in many cases the popular tourist destinations. With the result that travel has become more intra-regional again.

The article makes a review of the slightly incomplete statistics available in the area and discuss possible strategies for overcoming the existing terrorist attacks.

The conclusions of the article points to a more concrete cooperation between international and national organizations, governments, as well as NGOs, tour operators and civil society in general.

Turism handlar om att få en upplevelse av annorlunda karaktär. Turist är man på sin fritid, efter det att man utfört alla de uppgifter man har i form av arbete - avlönat eller av ideell karaktär. En del av denna fritid kan användas för att göra en semesterresa. Man kanske reser till någon annan plats i det egna landet, eller till någon plats i ett annat land.

De teman som diskuteras är fritid och rekreation, upplevelseturism, resandets determinanter samt köpprocessen, kvalitetsutveckling och hållbarhetsaspekter med utgångspunkt i turismindustrin.

Framtiden är svår att sia om, men boken gör avslutningsvis ett försök att belysa en trolig utveckling inom turismindustrin. Studier påområdet pekar generellt sett påen ljus framtid, både för nationella och internationella aktörer. Men hållbarhetsaspekter kommer att kräva ökad hänsyn.

In 2008 the U.N. International Maritime Organisation set up new rules for sulphurous content in maritime fuel. That decision will also have consequences for shipping and trade in, inter alias, the Baltic Sea. From the 1st of July 2010, ships sailing in the Baltic Sea are allowed to have only 1, 5 % sulphurous content in the fuel of the ships and only 0, 1 % in 2015-01-01. Is this a threat to the tourism industry? Will there be fewer cruising ships in the Baltic Sea? Will the ferry traffic between the harbours in the Baltic Sea decrease due to higher fuel price, because of less sulphurous content in the fuel?

This paper will discuss some methodical aspects in doing research in the field of hospitality and tourism. Quality aspects have been dominant subjects for a long time in the industry, safety and security aspects were more or less not on the agenda in the early 90-ies.

Communications during crisis is always difficult. By the time a risk turns into crisis it is too late to think about hoe to mange the communications, this has to be planned in advance. While many guidelines have been offered in crisis communications, these guidelines may prove to be pitfalls when faced with an actual crisis. This article discusses communication strategies for crises as they occur in the travel industry the study is examines the responses of a Delphi panel of industry professionals to three case studies in tourism. The study suggests that at least some of the oft-repeated guidelines may need revision and refinement. Crises are too complex in nature to prescribe a "one-size-all" remedy.

This paper discuss new expressions like Experience Economy and Dream Society, both both expressions imply that the society are now facing other demands from customers concerning tourism products. In many ways we are talking about progression ofeconomic values from teh tourist's point of view as well as from the view of the producers.

In the future producers have to deliver much more complex product offers then before, the complexity of the tourism product will increase and tohandle that requires a lot of knowledge as well as well trainedemployees. We will try to find out what the next step will be, from Experience Economy or Dream Society offering complexproducts - to, maybe, transformation which is an offering to the individual that he or she can be guided, the customer will be the product.

To summing up the future will focus much more on individual, tailor made products and edutainment.
