The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the impacts of global terrorism on Ireland's tourism industry, through examining the Irish tourism industry's perspective. The research undertaken included a multimethod approach, combining secondary research with primary research (in-depth interviews) to provide some practical findings. These findings highlight the fact that structures must be in place in order for the industry to manage a crisis resulting from a terrorist attack and also to minimise the impacts it will have on the tourism industry. In turn, this paper has the ability to influence tourism policy in countries that rely significantly on tourism such as Ireland.
