Aquatic Tourism
Security at Beaches, Rivers, Lakes, and on the High Seas
Abstract
This chapter deals with any form of tourism that involves water as a primary tourism motivator. As such, the chapter touches on beach tourism, sun and sand tourism, boating, water sports, and cruise ships. On the whole, tourism safety and security have had to deal more with issues of crime and health than with issues of politically motivated terrorism. The chapter, however, notes that there have been incidents in the past of terrorism directed both against beaches and on cruise ships. The chapter also touches on the issue of piracy and how that can impact the modern cruise industry.
