“…In addition, nationality and previous experience of crime are important factors influencing tourists' perceptions of security. Fowler et al (2012) reported that tourists from different geographic areas had different perceptions of safety. Europeans traveling in Bangkok, for example, had lower safety perceptions than tourists from other regions (Batra, 2008).…”

“…Europeans traveling in Bangkok, for example, had lower safety perceptions than tourists from other regions (Batra, 2008). However, some studies have suggested that Asian tourists had lower safety perceptions about carrying cash in public places (Fowler et al, 2012). The experience of traveling can also affect tourists' perceptions.…”

“…Crime can be "a by-product of tourism" (Xu et al, 2019, p. 2). Offenders often target tourists because, among other reasons, they have lower risk perceptions (Boakye, 2010), seek relaxing experiences (Tarlow, 2000) and carry valuables on themselves (Fowler et al, 2012). Crime acts as a double-edged sword, bringing negative effects on both tourists and tourist destinations.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to present a holistic literature review on crime research in the hospitality and tourism field. Design/methodology/approach This literature review included 109 crime-related academic papers in seven primary sources, namely, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost’s hospitality and tourism complete, Emerald Management eJournals, Sage Journals, Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science. Findings From the exploration and synthesis of 109 articles, the following categories of crime research in the hospitality and tourism field emerged as follows: classification of crime research in the hospitality and tourism field; diversity of tourists, crime and risk perceptions; the impacts of crime on the hospitality and tourism industry; and crime control from stakeholders’ papers. In addition, this study advances crime research by proposing six research priorities for future investigation. Practical implications Tourism stakeholders are advised to achieve better cooperation in crime control under the guidance of the crime prevention model. High-technology tools are encouraged to be applied to detect and track criminal activities. Meanwhile, diverse applications of the media should be used as useful tools to control criminal activities in the hospitality and tourism industry. Originality/value This paper fills a gap by presenting the first comprehensive overview of crime research in the hospitality and tourism field in the past few decades and proposing six priorities for this research stream.

“…The frequency and severity of natural and environmental threats and human-induced incidents has dramatically increased in the 21st century. Studies indicate that tourist safety and security are proved to be important elements of a tourist experience [1] and an absolute prerequisite for a successful tourist operation [39][40][41]. As the most important decision-making aspects for a significant number of tourists [42], the risk perceptions of travellers concerning their personal safety are deemed as being influential on international tourism demand patterns.…”

The connection between tourism development and the natural environment is more intense in outdoor sport tourism than in many other forms of tourism. Natural settings (space), sport activities undertaken and the motivations of the people who participate in them interact to create sport tourism experiences. Tourist safety and security are also proved to be important elements of a tourist experience and it seems that sport tourists may be more sensitive to safety issues than non-sport tourists. This paper therefore aims to analyse the importance of the natural environment and safety and security issues, as constitute event business model elements, in providing sport tourism experiences. The natural setting is also examined as a motivation to participate in sport tourism travel. On the basis of 464 questionnaires gathered from active participants of 16 small-scale sport events in four different outdoor sports, exploratory factor analysis was conducted on motivational statements and revealed a conceptually clear sevenfactor structure. One of them, titled 'Nature', was the second most important motivational dimension for participants but differences between particular sports were considerable. In terms of business model elements included in the survey, participants gave high importance to all elements related to the natural environment and safety and security. Scenic destination, scenic and interesting course, course safety and event safety were the most important elements of event business models for participants in all four sports. Environmental management and proper implementation of security and crowd control measures were also singled out as important event processes. However, results of ANOVA indicate statistically significant differences between the sports in seven out of nine business model elements. These findings shed some light on the managerial aspects of sport tourism practice, helping managers to better serve sports and tourism needs at a particular event and in the destination.

“…What was published by the media to the public will give a particular perception of risk to tourist about the destinations in particular if it was related to the safety and security issues (Hall, 2003). Tourists are looking for destinations where the risk to safety is perceived to be minimum and tourists will not visit the unsafe destination (Fowler, Lauderdale, Goh & Yuan, 2012). Whether tourists plan their travel or visit the destination, they will make a decision based on their risk perception (Lepp, Gibson, & Lane, 2011).…”
