| dc.description.abstract | The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of terrorism incidences on hotels in
Kenya and the survival strategies used by the destination. The study hypothesized that there was no
significant relationship between the respondent’s work experience and their opinion on the effect of terror
attacks. It also hypothesized that there was no significant difference between the respondent’s gender
and their emotional reactions to a terror attack. Qualitative data was collected through interviews while
quantitative data was collected using researcher administered questionnaires. A total of 200
questionnaires were distributed from which 138 were successfully completed. The study noted that
although there was a weak positive correlation between respondents work experience, and opinions on
the effect of the terror attacks to their business this relationship was insignificant at p=0.05 (r=0.04,
p=0.273) meaning work experience had little influence. Likewise, 41% of male strongly agreed that they
were traumatized as they continued with their duties as compared to 51% of female respondents. The
finding indicated that gender did not influence their feelings (U=1923, P=0.37). Majority of the
respondents 64% agreed that it had taken more time to achieve short-term goals while a 64% of them
strongly agreed that it had taken longer time than anticipated for the hotel to achieve short and mediumterm
goals. | en_US |
