"This book intertwines discussions on tourism and security within the disciplinary boundaries of anthropology. While a lot has been written about tourism anthropology, this book is distinct in that it brings dimensions of security into the debate. Dr. Maximiliano Korstanje is a versatile interdisciplinary thinker and his ideas help illuminate some of the hitherto unconsidered yet key elements of this emerging field of inquiry”
– Dr. Babu George, Fort Hays State University, USA
"Dr. Maximiliano Korstanje is one of Latin America’s leading social philosophers and scholars. His new book is a window not only into the world of tourism security but also into the sociological factors that have developed the Latin American mindset. This book is a must read not only for security professionals but also for those who seek to understand the complexities of Latin American culture and its influence on the world of politics and security."
– Dr. Peter Tarlow, Texas A&M University, USA
"Tourism is one of the most prominent features of today’s society. Every year millions of tourists travel to the destinations for touristic purposes and their numbers are growing. From an economic paradigm, tourism demand is very elastic and gives reaction to so many types of events like terrorism, epidemics, disasters, economic crises, and instability, etc...This book, which takes tourism security and risk perception as its core, is a useful source of information for the stakeholders in the field."
