Demograficzno-geograficzne determinanty oceny bezpieczeństwa w turystyce (na przykładzie badań uczestników ŚDM Kraków 2016)
Geo-demographic Determinants of Safety Assessment in Tourism (Example of Participants of WYD Krakow 2016)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to identify the demographic-geographical determinants which are shaping the safety assessment in tourism. The threats to which the tourists are exposed have been indicated as well as their role in the decision-making process about the travel to a given place has been specified. Special focus has been put on the terrorism-related danger, showing off its essence and source. In the empirical part, using the results of the research carried out during World Youth Day Krakow 2016, statistically significant correlations between the fear of arriving in the city and demographic-social features and the place of residence of the participants of this great event in the Christian religion have been found (as it could be expected, highly exposed to the terrorist attack on the part of followers of Islam). The analysis of the information obtained showed, among others, that the nationality of the participant had the largest impact on the fear of the arrival for WYD in Krakow. The impact of gender and whether the pilgrim was domestic or foreign was somewhat less strong. The education, the age and the professional status played the smallest role.
