Terrorism, Image of Destiny, Paris, Brazilian TouristsAbstract
Contemporary terrorism may be considered one of the ills of the 21st century and its actions have reached an increasing number of non-combatant targets. The extremist groups are looking for places with large circulation of people as sights to carry out their attacks. The attacks aim to reach a greater number of kafirs, term to define the unbelievers or infidels of the Islamic doctrine, or to obtain a greater attention of the media. Thus, the present study aimed to understand how Brazilian tourists, who were in Paris, perceive the interference of the night of the attacks in November 2015 in the tourist image of the city. The research was qualitative with the triangulation of data: documentary research, open questionnaires and testimonials in videos, with the use of content analysis. The results show a medium impact on tourism activity, but little importance in the image of the city of Paris in the months following the attacks, with the flow of visitors reestablished in the short term. The primary relevance of this article was to understand the impact on tourist demand after terrorist attacks from the perception of tourists under the image of the destination.
