description Tourism is the largest service industry in the world. The direct and reverse relationship between crime and tourism significantly affects the economy, society and individuals. Studying this impact is necessary for the state policy making and the organization of law enforcement agencies. The aim of this study was to determine the specifics of the criminal situation in the hospitality and tourism in the EU. The research involved system approach, descriptive analysis, systematic sampling, doctrinal approach, statistical analysis and forecasting as research methods. The results of specialized studies were summarized, and the lack of a comprehensive background for effective law enforcement was revealed. The main trends of the European tourism industry were identified. General European trends regarding the impact of crime on the tourism industry were revealed: a positive correlation of the security index with terrorist attacks; the relationship between the statistical significance of migration processes and the peculiarities of human trafficking in particular EU countries. The theoretical and practical problems of imperfect statistics on tourism-related crimes were confirmed. An approach to the preventive policy principles in the tourism industry was presented. The impact of crime on the hospitality and tourism is a multidimensional problem that requires the development of special preventive policies. The prospects for improving crime prevention in the tourism sector are related to the improvement of the practice of registering crimes and attracting additional opportunities for the public and subjects of the tourism industry. Prospects for further research include identifying the relationship between crime and various types of tourism.
