| Zusammenfassung: | As the editors and contributors were working on this book, one of the most
severe natural disasters in recorded history struck and devastated many
places and communities around the Indian Ocean on 26 December 2004,
after a suboceanic earthquake generated a vast tsunami. Only 3 years
previously, the terrorist attack of 11 September 2001 (9/11) caused great
damage, suffering and shock in the USA. Both of these events had
significant consequences for the operation of tourism businesses. In both of
these events, tourists and the tourism industry, although gravely affected,
were not the most numerous nor the most seriously affected. In the
concluding chapter, we discuss two further crises, the New Orleans
hurricane and the strong possibility of a global bird flu pandemic, and
draw lessons from them for the future management of tourism crises. |
