description The paper discusses the basic indicators of security anomalies present in studying specific relationships between terrorism and tourism, i.e. the reasons for which tourism is attractive for terrorists. It further presents the consequences of the terrorist attacks on tourism industry and points to the most significant measures in the field of crisis management used by individual countries in mitigating the effects of the terrorist attacks on tourists, tourism destinations, national economy and a country's image. The authors come to the conclusion that after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 in the USA, it is hard to apply the old methods and strategies to restore the confidence of tourists in a tourism destination, and that each specific case requires a careful analysis. The present times imply new contents in the implementation of counterterrorist engineering. It all aims at providing adequate responses to terrorism as a serious threat, which is hardly predictable in general terms, not only in tourism.
