The aim of this book is to contribute a much deeper understanding of tourism crisis and disaster management with a specific focus on the Asia-Pacific. Chapters contributed by international tourism scholars and practitioners discuss both the theoretical and practical approaches towards successful crisis management. This book examines a number of crisis and disaster types, including crises caused by crime, natural disaster, political conflict and financial crisis. The book has 16 chapters and is structured along the lifestyle stages of a crisis or disaster: (1) planning and preparedness activities before a crisis or disaster; (2) response to, or management of, a crisis or disaster as it occurs; and (3) a final resolution to a new or improved state after the crisis or disaster is over.
