“…This may be attributable to the risk perceptions of tourists regarding the conflict-ridden destinations even after a reasonable period of tranquillity. This finding is in line with many previous research studies mentioned above (Pizam et al, 1997;Sonmez and Graefe, 1998;Pearce, 1998;Mawby, 2000;George, 2003;Beirman, 2003;Lepp and Gibson, 2003;Eitzinger and Wiedemann, 2007;Woosnam et al, 2015). In other words, it can be stated that physical risk may decrease liking and purchase intentions of a destination (Hall, 1994;Hall and O'Sullivan, 1996;Pizam et al, 1997;Richter and Waugh, 1986;Roehl, 1995;Sonmez, 1998c;Neumayer, 2004;Cakmak and Isaac, 2012;Bellhassen et al, 2014).…”

“…Yet, the safety of a destination remains as a central issue for tourists (Pizam et al, 1997) and determines holiday decisions significantly (Sonmez and Graefe, 1998a;Pearce, 1998;Mawby, 2000;George, 2003;Lepp and Gibson, 2003;Eitzinger and Wiedemann, 2007;Woosnam et al, 2015) whether to make a purchase or not. In fact, above all a destination's success is primarily dependent on the risk perceptions of tourists (Beirman, 2003).…”

“…In other words the general skier wants to satisfy his demand for risk‐taking when practicing his leisure activity. This fits to the work of Eitzinger & Wiedemann (2007), who analyze risk perception of Alpine tourists in different contexts by using sorting techniques in an interview situation. They demonstrate that the probability of having a skiing accident is overestimated by the factor of 50.…”

This paper estimates the individual willingness to pay (WTP) for the option to exercise risk-taking. We use data of 69 Austrian Ski resorts and 3,637 reported ski accidents and apply the hedonic market method. Our results suggest that the individual WTP for a hypothetical increase in the possibility to undertake risk-taking activities lies between 11% and 25% of the price of a ski-lift-ticket. Monetized values help design pricing schemes that set incentives to reduce risk-taking behavior as well as to develop alternative instruments to reduce the adverse effects of risk-taking activities (e.g. accidents).

“…In addition, Mitchell and Vassos (1997) and Roehl and Fesenmaier (1992) measured travellers' psychological stress of different scenarios, such as unavailability of suitable accommodation, cancellation of holiday, and disappointing meals. Other psychological risks may include the fear of getting intoxicated (Eitzinger & Wiedemann, 2007), getting lost (Simpson & Siguaw, 2008), being nervous (Floyd & Pennington-Gray, 2004), being tricked (Gallarza & Gil Saura, 2006), and having a negative impression of one's future success (Reichel et al, 2007).…”

International university students’ travel risk perceptions: an exploratory study

Tourism researchers have identified the impact of perceived risk on destination choice and travel behaviour, and differences in general traveller risk perceptions based on both traveller and trip characteristics. However, such research has neglected the travel of international university students, despite the expansion and economic importance of this market. This paper outlines an exploratory study conducted on international university students studying at an Australian university. A total of 407 valid responses from the sample were achieved. Factor analysis identified four main risk factors which were labelled 'human-induced risk', 'social-psychological risk', 'financial risk', and 'health risk'. Student origins were found to influence risk perceptions. In particular, Asian students perceived higher levels of human-induced and social-psychological risks compared with students primarily from America and Europe. Travel experience and repeat visitation significantly reduced risk factors apart from health risks. Financial risks were higher for students planning to travel in Australia compared with Asia and America. The implications for destination marketing are considered, and future research avenues based on the results are outlined.
