Abstract: Duality can be seen as consideration of and by interdependencies, or dialectics (in the ancient Greek wording). Tourism and safety management is a pressing case of such a duality, requiring interdisciplinary behaviour of all and only essential professionals, who differ from each other and therefore cooperate creatively. Therefore, security/safety in tourism depends on individual subjective starting-points, which is a quite concerning situation. This article emphasises the 'weakness of duality' or 'absence of duality' in the case of dialectics of tourism and safety (management). Neither tourism managers nor the security/safety community nor the government feel a sufficient need for creative inter-disciplinary cooperation about safety and related necessities requisitely holistically. A model is offered here: social responsibility can informally support systemic behaviour, including issues of security/safety in tourism.
