Abstract
Description
Political instability, social tensions, terrorism, insurgency, suicide bombings and war like situations in a country/region make devastating impact on its economy. Various studies conducted on Gulf War (1991), attacks on Bali (2001), insurgency and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir (1989-90), Marriott Hotel Islamabad, Mumbai (2008) etc. show that tourism and hospitality industry suffered massively owing to cancellation of air/rail tickets, hotel bookings. Tourists changed their travel itineraries and alter their plan so as to avoid the areas/places affected by terrorism. Terrorists now target hospitality and tourist locations as it has direct impact on human lives and economy
also they get the attention worldwide. Terrorism has shaken the hospitality and tourism industry of both developed and developing countries. A Tourist undertakes a tour to recharge his/her energy, enjoy eternal peace and tranquility and for go on adventure in a safe and secure environment. Therefore, he/she would not go to a place affected by political upheavals and terrorist attacks. Entire Indian subcontinent is gradually slipping into the hands of terrorist organizations owing to poor governance and security system. India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka are affected by insurgency and terrorism. In this situation the tourism hotel and hospitality industry is suffering from major economic slowdown and stagnation. Moreover, the recent attack on Marriott hotel in Pakistan, Trident Oberoi, Leopold Cafe, Nariman House etc. in Mumbai (India) has further dealt a severe blow to the tourism and hotel industry. It is high time that countries of South Asian region come together and eliminate terrorism so that hotel and tourism industry is protected. The security system at places of tourist importance and prominent star hotels are made full proof to the extent that tourists feel safe and secure. The study reveals that though the hospitality and tourism sector entrepreneurs are trying to improve upon the security measures but still a lot is required to be done and to this there are few suggestions given by the author of this study.
