“…Furthermore, many previous studies focused on a particular detail dimension such as terrorism, political instability, crime, pollution, health concerns and so on (Ching Wang et al 2010).The impact of the risk perception on the destination image needs further empirical studies.…”

Purpose -The existing literature has accepted the view that the destination image can be explained by the motivation theory. According to this theory the destination image can be explained by either the internal motivation of tourists or the external motivation originating from the destination. The purpose of this paper is to critically review the literature to build an appropriate research framework for understanding the formation of destination image by international tourists. Design, Methodology and Approach -The literature pertaining to destination image till recently can be divided into three evolutionary stages with stage boundaries marked by the seminal reviews by Echtner & Ritchie in 1991 and by Pike in 2002. The two main focuses of the destination image research are -measurement and theory of the destination image. The evolution of measurement and theory is reviewed, in this conceptual paper, through these stages justifying the proposed new research framework. Findings -The existing theories do not take in to account some of the modern variables such as perceived risks of travel and the power of social networks that fuel word of mouth. Originality of Research -All the conceptual discussions and views are original.

“…Research on generic risk types in business describes absolute risks, that is, risks that are assessed objectively by commercial providers. Among other types of risks identified in this layer of research are such factors as political instability, terrorism, health, and crime (see also Wang, Jao, Chan, & Chung, 2010 Research on risk management in value chains emphasizes the importance of value chain analysis (Kaplinsky & Morris, 2003). Value chains, distinguished by Porter in the 80s, are traditionally described in the literature as consisting of sets of activities that include the process of supply (inbound and outbound logistics, operations, marketing and sales, and after sales service), the transformation of input into output (production and quality processes), and the support services the firm executes to accomplish these tasks (strategic planning, human resource management, technology development).…”

“…Risk in the tourism context has been defined usually from the viewpoint of the tourist (Wang et al, 2010), from what the tourists perceive and experience during the process of purchasing and consuming travel services (e.g., Tsaur, Tzeng, & Wang, 1997). In general, five major risk types can be associated with tourism: terrorism, war and political instability, health, crime, and cultural difficulties (Reisinger & Mavondo, 2006).…”

“…Wang et al, consideran al riesgo como toda posibilidad que el turista pueda sufrir algún daño físico sobre uno o sobre la propiedad durante el viaje (Wang et al, 2010). El concepto de riesgo y su aplicación a los fenómenos sociales parece no ser nuevo aun cuando si lo sea su adopción por parte de la disciplina turística.…”

EnsayoEl 11 de septiembre y la teoría de la percepción del riesgo Maximiliano Korstanje ii Universidad de Palermo (Argentina)Resumen: El turismo como actividad y como institución social se encuentra asociado a un sinnúmero de variables y a problemas que pueden afectar su desarrollo. Si bien los atentados terroristas han estado presentes como forma política de reivindicación tomando como rehenes a turistas extranjeros, la bibliografía especializada no dubita en señalar al ataque del 11 de Septiembre de 2001 en Nueva York como punto de quiebre en lo que respecta a la percepción del riesgo aplicado a los viajes. La aceptación que hoy goza esta teoría, en el mundo anglosajón, nos lleva a un abordaje de tipo crítico que intentará enfatizar en los puntos fuertes y débiles que plantea. El futuro de la teoría de la percepción del riesgo aplicada a destinos turísticos mantiene un campo de investigación novedoso en habla hispana. En un momento de cambio de milenio que se caracteriza por una proliferación de sentimientos de angustia y riesgos (Beck, 2006) (Luhmann, 2006), es de capital importancia continuar los abordajes empíricos en la materia. En ese contexto, el presente ensayo ha intentado, por un lado, sintetizar los estudios principales en la materia aportando un matiz crítico en aquellos aspectos que aún no han sido correctamente definidos.Palabras clave: Riesgo; Percepción; 11 de Septiembre; Destino Turístico Abstract: The variables that converge in tourism as a mass-activity and social institution are manifold as well as those problems which jeopardize its well-functioning. Even though, terrorist attacks have been presence in the past as a way to vindicate certain politic protagonism, it was no before than 11 September where scholars considered the risk perception as a prolific theory capable to explain the turbulent time we are now living. The future of this wave seems to be uncertain for Spanish native speakers. In a moment characterized by a crucial shift because of the advent of a new millennium, there is a proliferation not only of risks but also of anguishes and fears. Under such a context the present piece has focused on a synthesis of the main contributions of risk perception theory applied on travels at the same time it does not loose the sight on the troublesome aspects this theoretical perspective is unable to resolve.
