Exploring Southeast Asian travelers' perceptions of gun violence in the US

The travel perceptions among Southeast Asian tourists considering the United States as a destination has become increasingly complex, with concerns about gun violence and migrant crime emerging as significant factors in their decision-making processes. This comprehensive six-market study,  delves into the safety considerations, political influences, and regional preferences that shape the travel choices of 6,000 respondents across Southeast Asia. By exploring crucial aspects such as the impact of gun prevalence on destination appeal, varying perceptions of safety across different states, and the potential influence of the U.S. presidential election on travel inclinations, we aim to provide nuanced insights into how Southeast Asian travelers navigate the evolving sociopolitical landscape of the United States. This research not only examines the broader implications of gun violence concerns but also investigates specific factors such as the allure of perceived safer locations like Disneyland, the impact of recent visits on travelers' perspectives, and the role of media coverage in shaping perceptions of migrant crime.
