Description

In the field of tourism security the most critical variable - the human element - is often neglected This book addresses a significant gap by providing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework that centres the human factor in tourism safety and risk management. The author argues that technological advancements, while valuable, are insufficient without a robust security culture, effective leadership, and well-trained employees. Integrating insights from security studies, tourism management, organizational behaviour, and psychology, the book explores how human behaviour shapes the emergence, prevention, and mitigation of security risks. Using case studies focused on the hotel and health resort sectors, it offers a model for building organizational resilience. It is an essential resource for academics, postgraduate students, and industry leaders investigating a secure and resilient tourism strategy.
