industry, academicians, researchers, and students.
In Challenges to US and Mexican Police and Tourism Stability,
author Peter Tarlow examines the US-Mexico border crisis and its
impact on tourism, along with tourism security in both the United
States and Mexico. He also examines the impact of police corruption
and cartels on the tourism industry. Presenting detailed case
studies of the U.S. cities of Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and
Washington D.C, the collection concludes with comparisons on the
issues facing tourism policing in the US and Mexico, exploring the
dangers, hopes and recommendations for the future. The way a
state's police force operates generates a range of complex and
interconnected issues, including law enforcement's role in tourism.
Recent debates have arisen around the media and law enforcement
such as the incidents leading to the George Floyd protests and the
Defund-the-Police movement. Challenges to US and Mexican Police and
Tourism Stability examines the impacts that historical, political,
and social campaigns targeting police practices have had on law
enforcement in general and on the tourism industry in particular,
specifically focusing on recent developments in both the USA and
Mexico. The Tourism Security-Safety and Post Conflict Destinations
series provides an insightful guide for policy makers, specialists
and social scientists interested in the future of tourism in a
society where uncertainness, anxiety and fear prevail.

risks posed to the region and the wider economic impacts on the
success of this vital industry. Spencer and Tarlow identify a range

fallout for contemporary tourism business practices, while also
reflecting on how the Caribbean can work to overcome these issues.

interaction. Chapters examine a wide range of other issues,

worldwide tourism, as well the development of tourism police and
the rise of cyber security for tourism. The study presents an
illuminating new perspective for Tourism and Security Studies
