TL;DR: The terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington on September 11 2001, followed just over a year later by the murder of almost 200 tourists in Bali and a rash of attacks against tourists in many parts of the world have symbolised an unfortunate association between tourism and political crisis in very recent times.

TL;DR: For example, political crisis can continue to impact on the image of a destination for months if no post-crisis recovery phase is used as mentioned in this paper. But, unlike natural disaster management for tourism has often focused on the post crisis recovery phase.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw attention to the potential impact of social media climate change debates on the Australian tourism industry during and after the devastating 2019-2020 Australian bushfires, arguing that the growing prevalence of climate change discourse in social media has precipitated a dilemma for communities and industries in fire affected regions.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study of Nepal's tourism recovery after the country's 2015 earthquake is presented, where the authors argue that a clear post disaster volunteer tourism framework could validate volunteer tourism's potential role to ensure that communities do not miss out on any form of assistance.
