Summary/Abstract: The article refers to the influence of terrorist attacks on demand and supply in tourist services. The research included Egypt, Turkey and Tunisia, which, because of their location, climate and political potential are very popular among European tourists, including Polish. The aim of the article is to find an answer to the question: how terrorist attacks affected the demand and supply of tourist services. For the analysis and estimation of the phenomenon popular online websites Holdaycheck and Tripadvisor were used. Working hypotheses were also formulated that were verified. The research showed that in the period of increase of terrorist attacks the demand for tourist services in the studied destinations had significantly decreased. The effect of the attacks was also shutting down a number of hotels. The loss of tourists in these countries was varied regionally. Hotels tried to counter the decline in demand for tourist services, significantly lowering the prices of services.
