ABSTRACT
The aim of the study is to provide a complex overview of the dimensions of the sense of security of domestic tourists and Hungarians travelling abroad based on a sample of 500 people. Through mathematical-statistical analyses, I identified the main factors that play a role in the respondents' perception of safety, with particular regard to the risks arising during the trip. The survey was conducted in the second half of 2019, before the outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic. In addition to the theoretical aspects, the results of the survey offer a wide range of practical applications for the research, identifying areas where there is an opportunity to intervene at the level of public administrations. Preventive tasks cover crime prevention, environmental safety, more stringent monitoring and enforcement of consumer protection rules, as well as the elimination of financial/ transactional risks © 2023, Statisztikai Szemle.All Rights Reserved.
