“…Considerations of relationships pertaining between the system of the natural environment and the socio-economic system in a period of economic crisis relate, not only to a decreasing human impact in particular due to reduced intensity of production or lesser instability of society (Chung and Beamish 2005;Okumus et al 2005;Wang 2009), but also to procedures that would allow for better use of environmental potential as a factor in regional development at times that are hard from the point of view of capital flows and the generation of investment. It is beyond doubt that the most recent economic slump did result in a decrease in emissions of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, this fact having had a positive impact on the sanitary state of the environment, and hence also on the living conditions for communities in different regions of Europe.…”

“…Considering the purposes of this paper, manmade crises are classified into two types: security-related crises and financial and economic crises. Security-related crises include terrorism (Fall & Massey, 2006;Sonmez et al, 1999), war (Mansfeld, 1999;Dwyer, Forsyth, & Spurr, 2006), political crisis (Beirman, 2002;Okumus, Altinay, & Arasli, 2005) and air disasters (Henderson, 2003). Hall, Timothy and Duval (2004) expanded the concept of security from a narrow notion, which only includes political and military conflicts and terrorism, to a broader notion which also includes economic security.…”

Tourism is vulnerable to externalities such as natural disasters and man-made crises. The current global economic slowdown has adversely affected global tourism. While headline figures show that international tourism is suffering as a consequence of this economic crisis, domestic tourism is larger in many countries and impacts through this market could be larger than through international tourism. A common viewpoint is that an increase in domestic tourism could compensate a decline in inbound tourism, which supports the policy of focusing on the development of domestic tourism. This paper will test this viewpoint in the context of China’s tourism. This paper aims to evaluate the magnitude of economic impact of the economic slowdown on China’s tourism using computable general equilibrium modelling and then bring forward some policy suggestions on the development of China’s tourism

“…Hotel managers cannot afford to expose their staff and guests to unnecessary risks, are recommended to routinely assess and mitigate risks to an acceptable level, and thereby meet their responsibilities as hosts and employers. Shellum (2003) found that the low probability of a terrorist attack can act as a barrier to preparation; indeed, crisis planning in the accommodation industry is notably poor (see Hystad & Keller, 2008;Okumus, Altinay, & Arasli, 2005;Okumus & Karamustafa, 2005). Participants in this study were also poorly prepared, perhaps preferring to focus on more likely events such as product or service failures.…”

In 2011, international attention was focussed on New Zealand, host of the Rugby World Cup (RWC 2011), which brought 133,200 visitors to New Zealand over a three-month period. This exploratory study, undertaken before the event, investigates the attitudes of hotel managers and staff as they prepared to host spectators, rugby teams, and media personnel. The aim of the study was to determine preparedness for an attack, and assess attitudes and approaches to risk management in relation to terrorism. Interview data collected from senior hospitality managers revealed a distinctly laissez faire approach to security, which is partly explained by Hofstede's (1984) low uncertainty avoidance category for New Zealand. This attitude is reputedly common in New Zealand, where it is proudly expressed as 'she'll be right'.It is hoped that this study will bring attention to the weak security measures in New Zealand, which would have been insufficient protection for life and property, had a serious terrorist attack been planned.
