N2 - Tourists are easy targets for terrorists. Drawing on the example of the 2015
Sousse(Tunisia) shootings, and using a conceptual framework informed by tourist
security, terrorism risk management including terrorism risk assessment,
communication and due care, we analyse the management of the terror induced
security risks, and the factors influencing this process. This is achieved through a firstin-the field tourism study that applies narrative analysis to legal discourse. We show
tourist security was compromised by a lack of terrorism risk communication, poor
policing, and limited integration of counter-terrorism strategies (e.g.inadequate
implementation of environmental mitigation). Implications for terrorism risk
assessment, management and communication are discussed and key propositions
around tourist security responsibilities (e.g. due care) are examined alongside future
research opportunities.
