20.500.12556/DKUM-86773 Natural disasters and tourism Are the risks taken into account? The tourism sector can be severely affected by unforeseen events, such as natural disasters, which are characterized as events with low probability but high impact. The COVID-19 pandemic came as an unprecedented shock to the tourism sector, with numerous reports appearing in many media outlets showing industry experts and directors calling for outside help to avoid worst-case scenarios for their businesses, even in the early days of the pandemic. We therefore wonder whether the approach of tourism companies to risk was inappropriate. Given the number of natural disasters that have occurred over the past few decades, we cannot argue that there have not been enough warning signs to encourage tourism companies to prepare for unforeseen events. A comprehensive review of natural disasters in recent years can be a valuable tool for tourism companies to assess such risks and develop strategies and action plans to increase resilience and sustainability. The latter should become key components of regular business. natural disasters tourism risk resilience sustainability turizem naravne nesreče riziko trajnost odpornost true false true Univerza v Mariboru, Univerzitetna založba Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-01-17 12:05:42 2024-01-17 12:11:27 2024-01-18 03:47:41 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 257-272 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-10-28 338.48 125540099 127903491 Contemporary_issues_in_tourism_2022.pdf Contemporary_issues_in_tourism_2022.pdf 1 F29C4A2B5F45DE9B9F9644BA2D1521CA 7cf8e852c039504434dd44153f286e7b6870e3c80bff1f07e9dee7c23b805112 c49acdc6-b528-11ee-aaf4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=175366 https://press.um.si/index.php/ump/catalog/book/722 1 5d8fb504-b528-11ee-aaf4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=175365 Fakulteta za turizem Univerzitetna založba Univerze v Mariboru Contemporary Issues in Tourism 0 0 0
