“…Tourism-led growth (Seetanah & Fauzel, 2019 ; Walker, 2019 ; Holden, 2019 ; Gössling et al, 2020 ) can be enhanced with technology (Fyall & Garrod, 2019 ) and temporary state funding (Nicola et al, 2020 ) amidst crises and disasters to promote small business economic resilience as resilient organizations towards business continuity (Brown et al, 2018 ). Current studies emphasized the need for more economic support (Dayour et al, 2020a , 2020b ; Zhai & Shi, 2021 ) for tourism MSMEs as the sector struggles with experimentation, diversification, and business shift (Nuñez & Musteen, 2020 ; Dayour et al, 2020a , 2020b ; Pyke et al, 2021 ; Cahyanto et al, 2021 ) to maximize scarce resources (Coles et al, 2021 ).…”

This study proposes a holistic framework, which synthesized the literature on resilience, tourism, and tourism micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The dimensions of resilience were used as lens to highlight the role played by tourism small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and extract strategies for tourism destination resilience amid various disasters. The systematic integrative literature review of 107 documents covered six books and 101 papers. Seven sources are chapters from 6 books and 94 articles from 47 journals. The literature review uses thematic analysis to extract dimensional concepts from extant literature on resilience, tourism resilience, and tourism MSMEs. Key insights on limitations and strategies on resilience emerged from the review. These addressed aspects of governance, economics, environment, and social resilience. This analysis led to the formulation of a framework that underscored the dimensions of tourism. It provides insights for tourism policymakers in drafting strategies to address limitations, which anchored on a more comprehensive perspective. As a contribution to theory, this study expanded the scope of resilience dimensions to address limitations. The strategies intend to fortify MSME resilience as a dominant part of tourism resilience. The insights from the study offer an enhanced view of tourism MSME resilience as crisis and disaster management literature.

“…Similarly, tourism studies confirmed that social capital is positively linked to destination resilience (Jia et al, 2020;Cahyanto et al, 2021). One pivotal study examined the transnational social capital maintained by British retirees in Spain and the resultant VFR tourism flows (Casado-Dı ´az et al, 2014).…”

Purpose Diasporas represent a unique yet often overlooked stakeholder in tourism crisis management. Their strong bonds with their homeland often result in continued engagement with an extended community, which is valuable to their homeland during unsettling times. This study aims to examine the engagement of the Indonesian diaspora in the USA to revive tourism in Indonesia during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and their motivation behind such efforts. Design/methodology/approach This study is rooted in a social constructivism paradigm and uses a qualitative approach. Four focus groups (n = 25) and ten individual interviews with the Indonesian diaspora in the USA were conducted. Thematic analysis was used to identify major themes. Findings The findings indicate that diaspora engagement stemmed from two broad categories: social activism, such as information liaison, skills and knowledge transfer, and economic activism, including philanthropic activities, investment and remittance and return-home travel. Both altruistic and social exchange motives drive their continuous engagement. The findings exemplify “diaspora diplomacy” that can be harnessed as social capital for homeland tourism recovery post-crisis. Originality/value This study provides an in-depth analysis of diaspora engagement in destination recovery. This study highlights the importance of diasporas as social capital for destinations and offers insights into tourism crisis management by incorporating this overlooked stakeholder group.

During natural calamities or pandemics, social coping behavior helps tourism survive (Cahyanto, Kingsbury, Widodo, Puspita, Harnadi, 2021). Hotels should work with the community to create coping strategies and support structures to recover from disasters.…”

This research explores the tourism resilience of Resort Hotels in Region IV – A or CALABARZON which comprises 6 provinces namely, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon. This region is one of the tourism hot spots in Philippines and it is also susceptible to disasters like volcanic eruption, earthquake, flooding of its coastal areas and one of the most affected areas in Philippines next to National Capital Region by COVID-19 pandemic. According to the CALABARZON Regional Development Plan 2023-2028 prepared by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), the escalating losses and damages incurred because of disasters underscore the imperative of fostering resilience within this region. It is important to measure the resilience of tourism enterprises as it is vital in determining their capability and capacity to cope up and recover from the socio-economic impacts caused by these disasters. A total of 101 Department of Tourism (DOT) accredited accommodation establishments have participated in the study which were represented by their respective managers. The researcher measured the tourism resilience index of resort hotel industry of Region IV A (CALABARZON) using six (6) indicators namely, business operational resilience, disaster preparedness, marketing, workforce, use of national and local resources, and resource access and knowledge adopted from Tourism Resilience Index developed by Mississippi Alabama Sea Grand (MASGP) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of US Department of Commerce (NOAA). Moreover, comparison on the tourism resilience assessment of resort hotels when grouped according to their enterprise profile and managers profile was further analyzed.
