Abstract
In this research paper the feelings of insecurity and unsafety of tourists in low-crime countries are discussed. The case study area of the research was the center of Amsterdam. Using a survey and secondary data by the council of Amsterdam the subject has been researched. The main things found after analysing the research data were that tourists in Amsterdam generally feel even more safe than the residents, that they fear petty crimes the most and that their feelings of insecurity are primarily based in their vision of “grimy” areas. Combined with this is the fact that tourists don’t necessarily feel that they have any more or a less a risk of becoming a victim of crime (except petty crimes) than residents. This is different from the theory concerning the subject, as the theory suggests divides between residents and tourists and more prominent feelings of insecurity and unsafety in tourists.
