Abstract
This study explores the impact of natural disasters on travel risk perception. A sample of 354 respondents was surveyed as to their perceptions of the influence of natural disasters and travel risk on international travel. Tsunamis, hurricanes, and floods as well as terrorism, crime, health, and natural disaster risks were perceived to have the biggest influence on international travel. A Principal Components Analysis identified two groups of natural disasters, “Snow and fire” and “Wind and water,” and perceived “Sociocultural and psychological” and “Physical” travel risk. The simple and multiple regression analyses identified strong relationships between the perceived influence of natural disasters and travel risk perception. Implications of the study results are discussed and recommendations for future research presented.
