Global Risks And Crises Management In Tourism: Theoretical And Practical Perspectives

Tourism is one of the most sensitive industries across risks and crises based on economic, social, and political developments. In recent years, the challenges such as terrorism, epidemics, and economic blockades based on political tension between countries not only cause increased risks and threats on destinations but also cause decreased touristic mobility. A global pandemic, depressed economy, political uncertainties, and social problems can also interrupt the touristic movement. This book focuses on global risks and crises management in the tourism industry with a proactive approach. It is aimed to create an essential source/reference about preparation to emergencies, steps to be taken to eliminate uncertainties and risks, and effective risk and crisis management practices, and to guide managers and industry practitioners.
