Ma mua o 6,000 poʻe mai ʻeiwa mau ʻāina i nīnau ʻia, 97 pākēneka i ʻōlelo ʻia he mea noʻonoʻo ka palekana i ka wā e hoʻoholo ai i ka huakaʻi. Hoʻohana ʻia kēia i ka wā i hoʻopaʻa mua ai lākou i kahi huakaʻi a ua hopohopo ʻia e nā nūhou hou loa. Ua hōʻike ʻia kēia ma ka ITB Future Day ma ka ITB Berlin Convention e Richard Singer, he lālā o ka papa o Travelzoo Europe, e pili ana i nā ʻike o kahi papahana noiʻi honua e pili ana i ke kumuhana o ka palekana huakaʻi. Ua kapa ʻia ka hanana ʻo "Travel Safety: Fears and Counter-Reactions of Global Tourists". He ʻumikūmālua pākēneka o ka poʻe i hāʻawi i nā pane kūpono i ka poll TED i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hanana, akā ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia ka hapa nui.
No ke aʻo ʻana i ka Safety & Security i kauoha pū ʻia me ITB Berlin, ua hui pū ke alakaʻi mākeke honua ʻo Travelzoo me kahi kulanui mākaʻikaʻi Pelekane e loiloi i nā ʻike e Norstat Research. Ua nīnau ʻia nā mea kūʻai aku ma nā mākeke huakaʻi nui o ka honua, me ʻEulopa, Iapana, ʻApelika Hema, India a me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau.
ʻO ka mea i hoʻoweliweli nui ʻia. ʻOi aku ko lākou koʻikoʻi palekana iā lākou ma mua o ka makahiki benchmark 2014. Ke hopohopo nei hoʻi lākou e pili ana i nā pōʻino kūlohelohe, nā maʻi a me nā hewa ma ka pae kūloko a me ka pae aupuni. ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī o nā pilikia e ka "maka hou o ka weliweli", e like me Richard Singer. "Hana nā hana ma nā wahi e hele ai nā kānaka a hoʻopau i ko lākou manawa."
Ua hāpai ʻo Singer i ka ʻike o ka ʻoihana huakaʻi i kēia mau pilikia: "ʻO ka hopena ka manaʻo ʻole o ka poʻe", a ʻokoʻa kēia manaʻo mai kekahi lāhui a i kekahi. ʻO nā ʻāina i hoʻopilikia nui ʻia ʻo Farani a me Iapana me 50 a me 48 pākēneka. ʻO ke kūlanakauhale i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka palekana loa ma ka honua ʻo Sydney ma Australia, ʻokoʻa me Istanbul, kahi i manaʻo ai ka poʻe i nīnau ʻia "ua hoʻomalu ʻia ka makaʻu loa". Ma waena o nā puke huakaʻi i hana mua ʻia ʻo Singer i ʻōlelo ʻia i ka "kaumaha o nā mea kūʻai aku" a haʻi i nā puke no nā mākeke like ʻole: USA (24 pākēneka), United Kingdom (17 pākēneka) a me Kelemānia (13 pākēneka). Ua hoʻopuka ʻo ia i kēia hoʻopiʻi ʻana i nā mea hoʻokele huakaʻi: "Pono e hoʻolako ʻia ka ʻike ʻaʻole ma mua wale nō akā i ka poʻe i hana mua."
Manaʻo ʻo Singer i ka emi ʻana o ke kumukūʻai me ka hāʻule ʻole o ka mea i koi ʻia. Hāʻawi pū ʻo ia i kahi hopena, e pili ana i ke kūlana he manawa kūpono. Pono nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hoʻoikaika a kūpaʻa i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā ʻōlelo aʻo huakaʻi akaka mai nā kumu kūhelu. Ua hāʻawi ʻo ia i kahi laʻana o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi loa mai ka hui huakaʻi TUI, "e hōʻike ana i kēia i kēlā me kēia pae o ka hoʻolālā a me ka hana ʻana". Manaʻo ʻo Singer e lilo nā mea hoʻokele huakaʻi nui, ʻo TUI lāua ʻo Thomas Cook i mea hōʻailona no nā mea ʻē aʻe: "Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomohala i nā ʻōnaehana hōʻoia no nā kūlana palekana, a me nā ʻano hana ʻē aʻe e mālama ʻia ma kahi huakaʻi hoʻomaha."
Ua hōʻuluʻulu ʻo Singer me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ʻoiai he kumuhana paʻakikī kēia, ʻaʻole hiki ke mālama ʻia. Ma ka ʻike ʻana i nā kuleana i kau ʻia e ka ʻoihana huakaʻi, ua manaʻo ka papa Travelzoo "manaʻo nā mea kūʻai aku e loaʻa ka ʻōlelo aʻo mai ka ʻoihana huakaʻi."
