Abstract
As indicated at the beginning of this section, some factors are likely to contribute to the continued growth of tourism, whilst others will potentially lead to a halt in growth, or even a downturn in tourism numbers. Crises and disasters are very likely to have an immediate effect on tourist numbers, will almost certainly lead to a change in image of a tourism destination and may even significantly affect tourism, in the longer term, leading to major changes in specific locations, larger regions or even at the global level.
