Tourism, Vulnerability, Terrorism, Consumption, WarAbstract
Over the last years, a great variety of terrorist cells have perpetrated bloody attacks against tourist destinations in diverse parts of the globe. This woke up the concern and curiosity of practitioners and academicians. The specialized literature agrees to point out that terrorism is the great threat of West today. Nonetheless, a much deeper look suggests that there is a historical relationship between both. The goals of this conceptual paper are related to addressee the sociological connection between terrorism and tourism to provide readers an all-encompassed state of the art. It is important to decipher the message of terrorism to exert coercion to Nation-States by hosting consumers. This extortion remains into the core of capitalism through the strike. Even though the paper focuses on a one-sided gaze all voices have been taken into consideration, the thesis that the existent economic dependence among developing and developed countries paves the ways for the advent of resentment and material asymmetries is avoided. The division of work leads tourism to relegate some stakeholders towards peripheral positions while investors accumulate for them the resulted incomes. This has been capitalized by anarchism (similarly-minded as terrorism) to bring beneficial improvements in the working condition of former centuries. If we agree modern tourism resulted from this process, scholarship must be accepted that tourism is terrorism by other means.
