Beskrivning
This significant volume critically explores the implications of tourism safety and security and how communities in tourism destinations try to be resilient in the face of these impacts.Written by leading scholars, this book offers new insight into the conceptual and practical knowledge of community resilience due to tourism security and safety issues. Chapters examine these topics through an integrated community perspective to provide comprehensive consideration of the interconnected facets of a community, encompassing social, economic, environmental and cultural dimensions when evaluating and addressing matters pertaining to tourism management, safety, security and resilience. This book is structured around different conceptual, theoretical and practical strategies employed by destinations to foster and sustain community resilience, particularly during periods of crises, as well as communities in the context of tourism recovery. It examines this across geographical borders and in many different contexts (not just locations) of tourism or types of tourism, such as religious tourism, and different types of crises, including natural disasters, pandemics and terrorism.This book is an essential reading for all tourism students, researchers and academics as well as for those interested in conflict and crises recovery.

Recensioner i media

“Combining community case studies and conceptual discussions, this volume presents a uniquely wide ranging set of interpretations of the highly relevant issues of safety and security in tourism. In an unstable world, this volume contributes significantly to our understanding of dealing with uncertainty in tourism, a problem of increasing concern and importance that needs exactly this sort of examination.”Richard Butler, Emeritus Professor Strathclyde Business School, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK“This valuable book addresses several critical factors for destination success – safety, security, and resilience. A rich explanation of these factors is provided through many fascinating case studies drawn from throughout the world. The emphasis is on solutions based on community initiatives, which is a refreshing approach not found in many texts. Undoubtedly, this is an essential read for students of tourism development and all others with an interest in tourism and community well-being.”Alastair M. Morrison, Ph.D., Research Professor, School of Management and Marketing, University of Greenwich, London, Vice-President, International Tourism Studies Association (ITSA), Co-Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Tourism Cities (IJTC), CEO, Belle Tourism International Consulting (China)
