Zusammenfassung:"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.

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.

Post-Disaster and Post-Conflict Tourism: Toward a New Management Approach explores the research and suggests new approaches with topics such as looking at tourism as a vehicle toward recovery, educating tourists at the pre-visit stage, post-colonial branding and self-branding, using sports tourism and food events as a marketing strategy, the ethics revolving around post-disaster consumption, and much more.
