    Risk Management for Tourism Crises and Disaster

    • Understand government disaster management processes


    for communities

    • Identify and examine issues of risk management

    • Know what should be done to address risks.


    NO. 6
    Risk Management as Applied to Safety,
    Security, and Sanitation

    The aim of this chapter is to provide background


    on the formal government disaster management
    processes for communities and to identify and examine
    issues of risk management which are relevant to the
    tourism industry and tourism operators. Risk
    management is concerned with identifying and analyzing
    the risks (the chance of something happening) to an
    organization or community and deciding what can or
    should be done to address these risks.

    Risk Management

    Risk is the possibility of loss or injury (Merriam-Webster Dictionary


    n.d). In general, risk management involves:

    • Recognition of the existence of the risk;

    • Identification of the risks;

    • Knowing the mitigation measures for each risk; and

    • Having the risk management plan approved and disseminated to


    those concerned within the tour company.

    Disaster

    • Is defined as: ‘an event, natural or man-made, sudden or


    progressive, which impacts with such severity that the affected
    community has to respond by taking exceptional measures’
    (Carter, 1992).

    • The World Health Organization’s definition of disaster is: ‘any


    occurrence that causes damage, economic disruption, loss of
    human life and deterioration in health and health services on a
    scale sufficient to warrant an extraordinary response from
    outside the affected area or community’.

    Disaster

    1. They have a significant impact upon people and their infrastructure


    and community resources;
    2. They inevitably overwhelm the capacity of the community and the
    resources and
    3. Facilities available for management of the immediate response, and
    they produce long-term problems of restoration and rehabilitation.

    Disaster and Tourism

    • Community disaster management agencies are responsible for the


    implementation of disaster management plans and arrangements.
    • Where possible, though, the tourism industry should participate in
    disaster planning and management activities through appropriate
    local, regional or national committees.
    NO. 6

    and Sanitation
    Crisis Management

    Crisis management is the identification of threats to an organization


    and its stakeholders, and the methods used by the organization to deal with
    these threats. Due to the unpredictability of global events, organizations must
    be able to cope with the potential for drastic changes in the way they conduct
    business. Crisis management often requires decisions to be made within a
    short time frame, and often after an event has already taken place. In order to
    reduce uncertainty in the event of a crisis, organizations often create a crisis
    management plan.

    Crisis - is any event that is going (or is expected) to lead to an unstable and
    dangerous situation affecting an individual, group, community, or whole society.
    Crisis are deemed to be negative changes in the security, economic, political,
    societal, or environmental affairs, especially when they occur abruptly, with little
    or no warning. More loosely, it is a term meaning "a testing time" or an
    "emergency event".

    HAZARDS
    • A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health
    effects on something or someone.

    • Basically, a hazard is the potential for harm or an adverse effect (for


    example, to people as health effects, to organizations as property or
    equipment losses, or to the environment).

    • Sometimes the resulting harm is referred to as the hazard instead of


    the actual source of the hazard. For example, the disease
    tuberculosis (TB) might be called a "hazard" by some but, in general,
    the TB-causing bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) would be
    considered the "hazard" or "hazardous biological agent" of risk.
    NO. 6

    and Sanitation

    SOURCES OF RISK

    • Natural – cyclone, storm surge, flood, tsunami, earthquake,


    mudslide, volcanic eruption, etc.

    • Technological – failure of technical systems relating to


    industrial sites, transportation, and infrastructure.

    • Biological – spread of disease amongst people or animals,


    pests, and contamination.

    • Civil/Political – sabotage, terrorism, hostage situation, etc.


    NO. 6
    Risk Management as Applied to Safety, Security,

    HAZARDS (SOURCES OF RISK)

    1. The Human and Institutional Environment

    • common delinquency (theft, pickpocketing, assault, burglary, fraud,


    deception);

    • indiscriminate and targeted violence (such as rape) and harassment;

    • organized crime ;

    • terrorism and unlawful interference (attacks against state institutions


    and the vital interests of the state), hijacking and hostage taking;

    • wars, social conflicts and political and religious unrest; and

    • a lack of public and institutional protection services.


    NO. 6
    Risk Management as Applied to Safety, Security,
    and Sanitation

    2. Tourism and Related Sectors

    Tourism and sectors related to tourism such as transport, sports and retail
    trade, can endanger visitors' personal security, physical integrity and economic
    interests through:

    • poor safety standards in tourism establishments (fire, construction errors,


    lack of anti- seismic protection);

    • poor sanitation and disrespect for environmental sustainability;

    • the absence of protection against unlawful interference, crime and


    delinquency at tourism facilities;
    NO. 6
    Risk Management as Applied to Safety, Security,
    and Sanitation
    3.Individual Travellers

    Travellers or visitors can endanger their own safety and security, and those
    of their hosts by:

    • practicing dangerous sports and leisure activities, dangerous driving,


    and consuming unsafe food and drink;

    • travelling when in poor health;

    • Causing conflict and friction with local residents through inadequate


    behavior towards the local communities or by breaking local laws;

    • carrying out illicit or criminal activities (eg, trafficking in illicit drugs);


    • visiting dangerous areas; and

    • losing personal effects, documents, money, etc, through carelessness.


    NO. 6
    Risk Management as Applied to Safety, Security,
    and Sanitation

    4. Physical and Environmental Risks

    Physical and environmental damage can occur if travellers:

    • are unaware of the natural characteristics of the destination, in


    particular its flora and fauna;

    • have not undertaken adequate medical preparations for the trip


    (vaccinations, prophylaxis);

    • do not take the necessary precautions when consuming food or


    drink or in their personal hygiene; and

    • are exposed to dangerous situations arising from the physical


    environment.
    NO. 6

    The Nature of Disaster


    • Cause - Is it natural, technological, biological, etc?

    • Frequency - Is it a regular or seasonal event (eg, cyclone, floods)


    which can be anticipated?

    • Duration - Will it have a limited duration such as an explosion or be


    prolonged (inundation floods, epidemics)?

    • Speed of onset - Having time available to provide warnings and


    information and for measures to be undertaken for the protection of
    people will affect the public’s perception of the level of preparedness
    and the response capability of disaster management agencies
    within a destination.
    NO. 6
    Risk Management as Applied to Safety, Security,
    and Sanitation

    • Scope of impact - From a tourism perspective, will the


    disaster have the capacity to affect a single tourism operator
    or a whole destination, or might it have a worldwide impact
    upon the tourism sector, such as the September 11 bombing
    of the World Trade Centre in 2001?

    • Destructive potential – A hazard capable of destroying a


    community and its infrastructure will, again, necessitate the
    development of contingency plans for the relocation of visitors
    to a safer place with essential facilities, and for their return to
    their homes.
