Tourism, Terror And Trump

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Tourism, Terror And Trump

The global impact of terror, political turmoil and presidential rhetoric on tourism

Unpicking the psychology of the tourist and how terror attacks and political upheaval affect the choices they make. Plus the latest on the diplomatic row with Qatar in the Gulf.

The choices that tourists make can have a huge impact on the world economy. Today, we unpick the psychology of the tourist and how terror attacks and political upheaval affect the choices they make. Ed Butler reports from Egypt, where it is estimated that tourism is down as much as 40% following sustained instability in the region.

And on the other side of the globe, have the politics and rhetoric of President Donald Trump had a negative impact on tourism? Adam Sacks, President of Tourism Economics explains why the rising antipathy toward the US poses a very real threat for an industry worth over $250 Billion dollars. 

Plus, global guru and travel editor at the Independent newspaper, Simon Calder, gives us the latest on the growing diplomatic row with Qatar in the Gulf region and the impact it is having on flights out of the international flight hub Doha.
