Over the past three decades, the tourism literature has examined the role of risk perceptions in an effort to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence travel decision-making in these uncertain times. Taking the major criticisms of the travel risk research into consideration, this study adopted a theoretical lens to the study of travel risk. Through the development of the proposed conceptual model, this study sought to advance knowledge related to travel risk by integrating protection motivation theory and the risk-as-feelings hypothesis with the existing body of knowledge related to travel risk. Notably, a majority of the risk-related variables identified from theory have been understudied in the context of international travel (perceived severity, affective risk perceptions, self-efficacy, response efficacy, and engagement in a recommended risk reduction behavior). Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to reconceptualize and reoperationalize the risk-related constructs studied in the context of international travel, as well as to analyze the relationships between risk-related constructs. Specifically, this study sought to test the proposed conceptual model which considers the relationships between the risk-related constructs of perceived risk (perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, affective risk perceptions), perceived efficacy (self-efficacy, response efficacy), and engagement in a recommended risk reduction behavior. The case of Acapulco, Mexico was used to address the purpose and principal objectives of this study. Based on risk management, this study examined perceived risk in terms of crime-related risk while visiting the destination of Acapulco. Perceived efficacy and engagement in a recommended risk reduction behavior were examined in terms of behaviors that tourists could engage in to ensure their personal safety while visiting the destination of Acapulco. An online survey was conducted in October 2015 to garner responses from American international travelers (n= 1,126). Overall, the findings suggested that self-efficacy and response efficacy were the strongest predictors of tourists' intentions to engage in different recommended risk reduction behaviors to ensure their personal safety while visiting the destination. Between the two perceived efficacy variables, self-efficacy had the strongest influence on intentions to engage in a recommended risk reduction behavior. Implications, limitations and suggestions for future research were presented.
