- WHY RISK WHY NOW? CONCEPTUAL PROBLEMS AROUND THE RISK PERCEPTION IN TOURISM INDUSTRY Maximiliano Emanuel Korstanje Estudios de Turismo risk Tourism modernity terrorism september 11th Even though the risk perception theory has been coined by Cognitive Psychology and widely used during more than 40 years, only after September 11th 2001 the term risk was borrowed to tourism fields. The psychological and symbolic impacts that generated the WTC attacks drew the attention of many scholars concerned by the destination image. However, based on assumptions that need to be revisited, this body of knowledge rests on shaky foundations simply because its working definition of risk seems not to be correct. In addition, risk perception theory nourishes a discourse enrooted in a radicalized construction of otherness whose characteristics scare us. To some extent, risk perception theory in tourism has much to say but in fact some previous points should be previously discussed. 2011 artículo científico 1982-6125 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=504152251002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5041 Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Turismo application/pdf Associação Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Turismo Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Turismo (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.5
