Abstract
The subject of this paper is tourism policy and security from the aspect of international travel and terrorism. We consider terrorism to be one of the biggest problems of modern society, and the targets of many terrorist attacks are related to tourists. Also, after the terrorist attacks we observe reduced numbers of tourists in destinations. Tourism is the antithesis of conflicts and military actions and can be developed only in areas that are not affected by such conditions. For this reason, many countries are preparing in advance and plan their tourism policies to meet the crises. In the paper, we define tourism policy and security, we give examples of terrorist attacks around the world and how they affect the tourism industry, the economic losses of tourism in cases of terrorism and the management of crisis. Recommendations for the Republic of Macedonia are given based on international experience and how should the country and the tourism industry prepare in the case of a terrorist act.
