“…Most tourism recovery strategies are reactive and generally include government aid packages; which (re)focus on domestic tourism and development of new niche tourism products, as well as cost-cutting measures by the sector as a result of a crisis (Tse et al, 2006;Enz & Taylor, 2002). Finally, destination recovery is highly dependent on the perception of risk, a field that is crucial to understanding what is important for tourists in relation to personal safety and security (Lepp & Gibson, 2003;Reisinger & Mavondo, 2005;Taylor & Toohey, 2007;Williams & Baláz, 2013;Yang & Nair, 2014).…”

A B S T R A C TMany recent crisis and disasters affecting tourism have been studied, but few explicitly explore health related crisis in developing countries. This study analyses the effect of the Ebola Virus Disease Epidemic (EVDE) on The Gambia, where, despite no reported cases, EVDE had devastating consequences. A Rapid Situation Analysis is used to gain insights into responses to the EVDE, encompassing interviews with key stakeholders, field observations and follow up meetings with those involved in managing the crisis over 21 months. A crisis and disaster framework is used to understand the challenges encountered. Findings highlight the importance of consumer perception and preparedness and management failures' consequences, contributing to the broader debate on the indirect threat of epidemics on tourism in developing countries.

“…Considering the relevance and influence of risk on tourists and the industry, a considerable body of tourism risk literature has been developed, especially in the past two decades (Yang & Nair, 2015). Nevertheless, a systematic review of risk literature in tourism is absent, which is indicated in Noel Scott's consolidated list of review papers in tourism posted on 3 March 2015 on TRINET 1 .…”

Resonating with a growing sense of uncertainty recently, an increasing number of studies have been dedicated to travel risk because risk and tourism are intrinsically connected. However, existing tourism risk literature was criticized for lacking theoretical foundations, which has resulted in fragmented understandings, including contradictory opinions regarding the effect of gender on risk perception. In response to these criticisms, this study systematically investigates tourism risk literature from a gender perspective, with an aim to map out what is known about the gendered travel risk and what needs to be explored further. The review findings suggest that a majority of existing risk and gender studies have prioritized the experience of Western travelers. The findings indicate a lack of a gender-and risk-focused investigation and theoretical framework, and a dearth of an interpretive and reflexive approach. A plethora of evidence of gender difference in tourist risk experience has been identified.

“…In an extensive review of the risk literature, Yang and Nair (2015) highlight that the effects of risk perception on behavioral intention is one of the main focal points of the selected bibliography. 2 The main conclusion to be drawn from these works is that risk perception has the capacity of inhibiting the travel (Um & Crompton, 1992).…”

“…There are many works in the literature that analyze the relation between risk and behavior intention (Yang & Nair, 2015), and between destination image and the latter (Chon, 1990;Pike, 2002). Perpiña, Camprubí and Prats (2017) point out that destination image is not the only variable that determines the tourist's choice, emphasizing the influence of perceived risk.…”

In this work we analyze the process by which the decision of visiting a destination is the result of evaluating its image, being risk an important factor that has an effect on the destination's image. Taking the previous literature into account, and considering the multidimensional character of these two constructs, we propose a classification of the different approaches that link risk and image with behavioral intention. This work, without being an exhaustive review of the literature, clarifies the state in which the study of this subject is found and gives guidance to the researchers in this field. La importancia del riesgo percibido en la imagen de destino y sus efectos sobre la intención de comportamientoResumen: En este trabajo analizamos el proceso mediante el cual la decisión de visitar un destino es el resultado de evaluar su imagen, siendo el riesgo un factor importante que influye en la imagen del destino. Teniendo en cuenta la literatura previa, y considerando el carácter multidimensional de estos dos constructos, proponemos una clasificación de los diferentes enfoques que vinculan el riesgo y la imagen con la intención del comportamiento. Este trabajo, sin ser una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura, aclara el estado en el que se encuentra el estudio de este tema y brinda orientación a los investigadores en este campo.Palabras clave: Riesgo percibido; Imagen percibida del destino; Intención del turista.
