Abstract
Environment includes social, cultural, economic and political considerations, as well as the more usually understood features such as soil, climate and food supply. Notably, biological agents are sensitive to environmental conditions. To sum up, the relative ease and low cost of producing biological agents, the difficulties in detecting their presence and treating exposed victims and their potential will be used not only for humans but crops and livestock as well. In the future The terrorists probably being use biological agents in water resources and other environmental sites. This can be a negative impact on economies of the countries and on public health. International tourism is one of the world's largest industries and a major source for the economies of less developed and developing countries. But Terrorism can hurt easily the tourism sector by reducing tourist arrivals. Therefore, national policy makers and academics once treated bioterrorism as nothing more than a theoretical possibility. This paper will be an introductory text about the relationship that exists between environment, bioterrorism, tourism and economy
