Abstract EN
Harassment is a complex phenomenon that occurs throughout the world and on a daily basis.
The feelings of vulnerability to harassment can create worries toward the destination.
This may affect tourists' decision regarding the choice of such destination, and tourists may not return to or advise this destination to others if they have felt unsafe.
The purposes of this study is to identify the types of tourists’ harassment, determine the factors leading to this problem in Egypt, and investigate the effects of harassment on tourists’ future decisions to travel to Egypt.
Therefore, a survey has been conducted on 218 tourists in order to reflect their experience with harassment.
The findings reveal that verbal harassment is the main type of harassment, followed by begging, vendor persistence, and physical harassment.
Finally, the results illustrate that tourists' opinion about choosing Egypt as a tourist destination is negative.
They have had a bad impression about Egypt.
As being an unsafe tourist destination and they do not have the intention to revisit it.
