Decision-making in daily life and in tourism / Teitler-Regev, Sharon

Teitler-Regev, Sharon	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

This article seeks to measure the potential risk tolerance in tourism and to determine whether individuals’ rationality in daily life is consistent with their choice of destination for foreign travel. Findings of the research, carried out among Israeli students, indicate such a consistency: individuals with higher general risk aversion also have higher risk aversion in tourism. These results can give tourism service providers greater insight into how tourists make decisions, thus enabling them to offer destinations that are personally adapted to the travel experience and general risk tolerance of tourists.

Publication

2005.

Summary/Abstract

This article deals with the evolving Israeli policy on the issues of ballistic missile threat, and missile defence. The Israeli perception of the missile menace has changed drastically as a result of the 1991 Gulf War. This led to a set of decisions by the Israeli leadership which have resulted in the allocation of enormous resources to accelerate the development and deployment of the Arrow anti-tactical ballistic missile system. To analyse these decisions and their implications, the unique Israeli decision-making process is described. The article outlines this process as part of the Israeli strategic culture, and examines the roles, and influence of the main actors in the process. Israel can be described as a relatively liberal democracy in all aspects of civilian life. But, on issues of national security and defence, the country is a limited and restricted democracy.
