Study Notes
Tourism Crisis Risk Mitigation
- Crises are periods of intense uncertainty, marked by unpredictability and loss of control.
- A tourism crisis severely compromises the marketability and reputation of a business or destination.
- Tourism crises are categorized as events outside management control (natural disasters, war, etc.) or management failures (poor strategy, lack of contingency measures).
Tourism Crisis Management
- PATA's Four R Concept (Reduction, Readiness/Risk Preparedness, Response, Recovery) is used for crisis management.
Reduction
- SWOT analysis identifies potential crisis impacts.
- Contingency/continuity plans reduce crisis likelihood and impact.
- Reduction focuses on resuming operations after a crisis.
Readiness/Risk Preparedness
- Contingency plans address likely risks and threats.
- Staff training and regular drills are crucial.
- Plans should include assessment of likely threats, staff assignments, training, crisis scenarios, communication strategies, and backup procedures.
Response
- Crucial in the first hour after a crisis event.
- Transparency and communication with stakeholders and media is essential.
Recovery
- Effective recovery beyond marketing necessitates sustainability (economic, social, and environmental).
- Value-added incentives are as effective as price discounts.
Tourism Risk Management Process
- Risk is the probability of negative events and loss to a business/destination.
- This process involves identifying, analyzing, and controlling risks, preventing crises, and mitigating negative consequences.
- Risk analysis assesses the probability and consequence of a risk.
- Risk control involves mitigating unacceptable risks through methods like exposure avoidance and loss reduction.
- Risk treatment involves transferring or retaining risk. This might be contractual, insurance-based, or through self-insurance mechanisms.
