The effects of the attack on the World Trade Center have been especially felt within New York City’s large tourism industry. An important source of employment for low–skilled workers, the tourism industry has sustained substantial job loss in the aftermath of September 11th. Within the context of regulation theory we can see that the tourism regime is caught in a difficult dilemma. On the one hand, it must develop the city in a way that seems welcoming to visitors — that is, it must regulate the city for the benefit of visitors. On the other, it must regulate tourists to assure that they do not present a danger to residents, visitors and the industry itself. L’attaque du World Trade Center a eu des conséquences particulières sur l’important secteur touristique new–yorkais. Source considérable de travail pour le personnel peu qualifié, le tourisme a perdu un grand nombre d’emplois après le 11 septembre. Dans le contexte de la théorie de la régulation, on constate que les autorités touristiques sont prisonnières d’un difficile dilemme. D’un côté, elles doivent aménager la ville de manière accueillante, autrement dit elles doivent réguler la ville à l’intention des visiteurs. De l’autre, elles doivent réguler les touristes de sorte qu’ils ne présentent aucun danger pour les habitants, les visiteurs et le secteur lui–même.
