Micro-level assessment of regional and local disaster impacts in tourist destinations

Tourism resilience in the context of integrated destination and disaster management (DM2)

“…Issues reported included staff layoff, revenue reduction, drop in visitor arrivals, and the negative perception of the business due to the property being damaged and postdisaster representation of the destination in the media. This is in line with previous studies as identified by the effects previous disasters had on the tourism industry in the Caribbean (Schmude et al, ; Seraphin, ), Asia (Ghaderi et al, ; Huan et al, ; Huang & Min, ), North America (Sydnor‐Bousso et al, ), and Oceania (Méheux & Parker, ) further demonstrating the susceptibility and fragile nature of the tourism industry. Losses and damages represented another significant share of the responses with these being closely linked to business interruption because of the destination's inability to receive visitors in the disaster's aftermath.…”

A Resource-Based Typology of Dynamic Capability: Managing Tourism in a Turbulent Environment

“…Furthermore, because of the different nature of natural disasters and health crises, several aspects need to be considered for further improvement. For example, natural disasters are usually short and sharp natural environmental changes (e.g., volcanism, earthquakes, tropical storms; Prayag et al 2020), bringing destruction and severe damage to the impacted region (Schmude et al 2018). In contrast, health epidemics tend to be more enduring and lack a clear end point yet can spread rapidly across geographical boundaries (Novelli et al 2018), causing more negative pressure on tourism demand (Breitsohl and Garrod 2016).…”

Modeling behavioral intention toward traveling in times of a health-related crisis

“…Terrorism, health hazards and natural disasters have all posed different kinds of potential risks facing travelers while they travel (Dolnicar, 2005; Huang et al, 2020; Kozak et al, 2007; Schmude et al, 2018). Various types of risks have been found in the consumer behavior literature, particularly physical, psychological, financial, social, time, satisfaction and equipment risks (Korstanje, 2009; Roehl and Fesenmaier, 1992).…”
