Crime against tourist is quickly spread by the media and can have both an impact in terms of cancellations of travel advisories. It takes both a sufficient passage of time and a significant promotional effort to persuade tourists to return to destinations that are widely seen as unsafe (Lorde & Jackman, 2013).
