| Summary: | Enhancing Competitiveness in the Face of
Disasters presents the case to government decision-makers,
tourism private sector stakeholders, and development
partners that the industry must act urgently to integrate
resilience as a core component of its competitiveness
agenda. Its objectives are to: build knowledge of how and
why the tourism sector is vulnerable to disaster and climate
risks; raise awareness of disaster and climate impacts on
tourism competitiveness; examine barriers to proactive
mitigation and risk-informed decision-making; and present
examples of approaches in different countries. The report
flags the need for research and methodology in this emerging
field and proposes a Resilient Tourism Framework to
integrate preparedness, response, and recovery actions into
the sector. This report is part of a series under the World
Bank’s Resilient Industries Program, which proposes ways to
integrate disaster and climate resilience considerations
into the industrial development investment projects the
World Bank supports. Its flagship report, Resilient
Industries: Competitiveness in the Face of Disaster, details
a Resilient Industries Framework which informs the Resilient
Tourism Framework. |
