Abstract

Crime against tourists not only shock local communities because of their vulnerability but also represents serious offense to “other states” where these tourists come from. Tourism would not work without hospitality. By introducing tourists in the homeland implies the respect for hosting-law, as well as the commitment of states for protecting them while touring. For example, whenever terrorism in Bali took the life of dozen of Australian holiday makers, Australia asked for a rational explanation, in the same way France issued a protest against Argentina when two young tourists were killed in Salta. The fact is that hospitality is based on a much deeper human prone to reciprocity. But what would happen whenever the state blame the tourism-delivering society to avoid its duties as hosting-state?.
