✦ Synopsis

Research into tourist reactions to terror requires qualitative studies that provide insight into the affective and cognitive processes that tourists experience when facing terror-related risks. The study responds to this need by focusing on Israeli tourists who voluntarily travelled to the terror-threatened destination of Sinai, Egypt. Applying ethnographic methods, the study identifies two major rationalisations tourists used to reduce their perceived risk: (i) inward-oriented rationalisations that reduce the perceived risk of the destination by stressing the safety within it; and (ii) outward-oriented rationalisations that reduce the perceived risk of the destination by emphasising the terror-related risks, which exist elsewhere.
