Beschreibung

Post-disaster and post-conflict tourism has recently emerged as a prominent topic of research and considers new risks that jeopardize tourism travel to destinations that have recently experienced climate-related disasters, civil conflicts, and other challenges. This volume presents a host of innovative strategies that could be adopted by post-colonial, post-conflict, and post-disaster destinations to encourage travel and tourism in these areas.

Policymakers are focusing their efforts on identifying and eradicating external and/or internal risks in order to protect the tourism industry in their regions, in line with a new spirit that is clearly orientated toward mitigating risks. This capacity of adaptation suggests two important things that are at the heart of this book. On the one hand, tourism serves as a resilient mechanism that is helping destinations in their recovery strategy. On another hand, this raises ethical issues related to tourism consumption.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Ironically, post-conflict and post-disaster destinations have a special kind of lure. Disasters alter both natural and cultural landscapes of the affected regions. Resident perceptions of tourism change. The types of tourists wanting to visit these regions and their motivations are now different. The destination marketing agencies need to come up with new strategies to attract the right kinds of tourists, within the frameworks of post-conflict, post-disaster, regional development. The contributors to this edited volume have brought in some very critical thoughts and also creative solutions to address these issues. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in dark tourism and related fields."

-Babu George, PhD, Associate Professor of Management, Fort Hays State University, Kansas, USA

"The book talks about one of the most prevalent issues and often unnoticed matter in the contemporary world. It not only offers a fresh perspective towards destinations that are affected by colonialism, disaster or conflict but further provides possible solutions. . . . The authors try to illustrate new perspective on the management and marketing of post-colonial, post-conflict, and post-disaster destinations. With strong literature review, the author introduces all the concepts of marketing and management with valuable examples. The authors further emphasise on various related aspects like post-disaster consumption of tourism activities, education of tourists during their pre-visit stage, destination image and future of such destinations, the potential of street food and sports tourism products, commoditisation and ethics concerning the consumption of post-disaster destinations."
