Study Notes
Tourism Risk Mitigation
- Crises are periods of intense uncertainty, characterized by unpredictability and loss of control over key functions.
- A tourism crisis, from a wholesaler's perspective, is an event severely compromising a tourism business's marketability and reputation.
- Two broad categories of tourism-related crises impact businesses: events beyond management control (natural disasters, war, terrorism, political instability, crimes, epidemics, economic downturns) and events resulting from management failure (business collapse, inadequate management, fraud, data loss, facility damage).
Tourism Crisis Management
- PATA (Pacific Asia Travel Association) developed a Four R Concept for crisis management: Reduction, Readiness/Risk Preparedness, Response, and Recovery.
Reduction
- Risk management is crucial.
- SWOT analysis identifies Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
- Contingency and continuity plans minimize crisis impact.
- Reduction is the initial stage after a crisis, where services may be limited but businesses start resuming operations.
Readiness/Risk Preparedness
- Contingency plans deal with likely risks and threats.
- Drills and simulations are essential for training.
- Plans should include threat/risk assessment, staff/management assignment, training on roles, emergency contacts, scenario exercises for initial crisis management, detailed crisis process scenarios, spokesperson designation, SWOT analysis, backup procedures, and personnel.
Response
- Speed is crucial in responding.
- Stakeholders and media need to be informed quickly.
- Adequate communication is important.
Recovery
- Recovery involves economic, social, and environmental sustainability.
- Incentive-based discounts, value-added incentives, and low-cost methods are effective tools for recovery.
