A RESEARCH AGENDA FOR TOURISM AND RISK

(indexed in SCOPUS)

In the former decades, some voices have enthusiastically applauded the adoption of tourism towards more stable, prosperous, and sustainable destinations. The paradigm of tourism security has been notably centered on the belief that internal or external risks could be eradicated through the instrumentalization of rational programs oriented toward enhancing host-guest relationships.

The last events, however, have taught policymakers the importance to understand tourism security from the lens of precautionary doctrine due to the proliferation of negative events. Terrorist attacks, accidents, geopolitical tensions, economic downturn, wars and armed conflicts, social instability, natural catastrophes, and pandemics are some of the events that have negatively impacted the tourism industry in recent decades.

This conceptual paradigm is punctuated by the urgency to find and eradicate those external risks that placed very well the industry in jeopardy. Just after 2010, scholars and policymakers agree on the urgency to adapt tourist destinations to a new uncertain world. The concept of prevention was certainly replaced by adaptation, making resiliency and resilient destinations the main debatable terms in congresses, academic events, and of course, material published in leading journals.

This book invites authors to share their advances in Research Agenda for Tourism and Risk themes related to tourism security safety in a new century where resiliency should be featured. The manuscript should be written in English (American or British Spelling) formatted with an abstract and 5 keywords and ultimately cited in APA style. What is more important, tourism in a post-crisis context, or tourism after tourism, includes but seems not to be limited to the following topics:

Over-tourism and pollution
Studies related to comparative cross-cultural perceptions of risk and threat
Natural and human-caused disasters
Post-disaster recovery strategies in tourism and hospitality
Aviation safety and security
Crime and security issues in tourism and hospitality
Political instability, terrorism and tourism
Dark tourism or Thana Tourism
The effects of global warming on tourism destinations
Innovative quantitative/qualitative methods for the study of risk and security issues in tourism and hospitality
Virus outbreaks and tourism mobility
Disasters, trauma and tourism
Human Rights and tourism
Apocalyptic theories and tourism as a form of entertainment
