Abstract
This chapter explores elements of the relationship between terrorism and tourism from a media perspective. It indicates that the media plays an important role during the planning and execution of terrorist activities from the viewpoint of terrorists. The media also transmits the events as well as the ideological aims of the terrorists to a broad audience by means of far-reaching and extensive reporting. Furthermore, the intensive, sometimes exaggerated and superficial reporting results in an image of unsafe destinations and leads to negative effects not only on the target destination, but also on those countries that benefit from tourism.
