Abstract

ABSTRACT: The devastating impacts of recent Australian bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the immediacy of climate change impacts and accelerated social, economic and environmental change which will shape the future of tourism. Moving away from single foci approaches to tourism risk management, this paper examines the vulnerability and resilience factors of tourism destinations to multiple crises. Using a whole system destination vulnerability/resilience assessment, two case studies inform priorities for building future resilience to multiple crises at organisational and destination levels. Based on critical reflection, a simplified, multi-level destination resilience framework for interdisciplinary tourism researchers and managers is proposed.
