Public relations are considered to be an indispensable part of tourist promotion. The aim of this paper was to explore the features, the role and the application of public relations in the promotion of unsafe tourist destinations. While in theory the importance of public relations has been recognized, in practice by most tourist agencies, the situation is different. Of the nine travel agencies which participated in this research, only one has a separate PR and marketing department. The most effective tool for promoting a tourist destination is internet advertising, and in this case, public relations are often equated with marketing. The term "unsafe" destinations is difficult to determine objectively, due to the unavailability of literature, as well as disagreement in respondents opinions. Unsafe destinations are no longer just war zones, today they are also some popular tourist centers like Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt. Travel agencies have questions from their customers for risky travels, but they generally do not like to talk about them. There are also respondents who are aware that dangerous areas like this can be profitable and competitive on the tourist market, if they seriously approach solving their problems, make a detailed tourist arrangement and make good promotions for them. It can be concluded that the role of public relations in the promotion of insecure tourist destinations is effective, although not all participants in this research think it is necessary.
