Popis: After a period marked by the global pandemic of COVID-19 and its effects on the social and economic aspects, it becomes obvious that the world will have consequences for a long time. This study sought to determine the predominant category of fear that has the most significant impact on the propensity of potential tourists to visit destinations that have been affected by the pandemic and which, due to prevailing prejudices, have been categorized as "dangerous". The research was carried out in the Republic of Serbia on a sample of 800 respondents. The SPSS 21.00 program was used for data processing, and empirical findings clarify that different categories of fear have a visible influence in shaping prejudices associated with "dangerous" travel destinations. These preconceptions have a noticeable effect on the tendency to travel to destinations that are categorized as dangerous. The analysis further found gender-based disparities, with men showing greater apprehension about financial and natural hazards, while women showed increased concerns about the risks of contracting COVID-19 and traveling to risky destinations.
