Crisis response time improving across tourism sector
Countries are getting better at handling the aftermath of political unrest and terrorist activity, delegates at the fourth Global Resilience Summit in London were told. However, the established model for crisis preparation and recovery is now severely outdated, according to experts. The Global Resilience Summit is an annual event organised by the Global Travel and Tourism Resilience Council and designed to share best practice within the public and private sectors. Gloria Guevera, Chief Executive of the World Travel & Tourism Council, presented a report which showed that the average time for a nation to recover from political unrest has fallen from 22 months in the recent past to just 10 months in 2019.
