The Impact Analysis Of Kenyan Politics On The Tourism Industry; A Case Study Of Mombasa Beach Hotel And Ministry Of Tourism Kenya

ABSTRACT

Concepts of terrorism, political turmoil, and war appear unrelated to tourism.

Closer examination of their points of convergence and impacts on tourism

reveals otherwise.

This paper examines literature focusing on the relationships between these phenomena. Research themes which emerge from available studies include impacts of terrorism and political instability on tourist demand, motives of terrorist in targeting tourists, using tourists as political tools, the effects of political violence on destination image, crisis management, and recovery

marketing efforts.

The intention of this research is to synthesize research on these relationships, to present a comprehensive index of relevant publications, and to suggest topics for future research.
