Join us at SHSM as Assoc. Prof. Dr Devi Roza Kausar will be speaking at the Research Seminar tomorrow (Tuesday, 7 November) at 4.00 p.m. on "Public Private Collaborations in Tourism Disaster Management Planning".

 

Presentation Synopsis

This study aims to explore the relationships between public and private sectors in tourism disaster management and assess the criteria for the realization of public private collaborations in tourism disaster management in terms of their priorities. Methods include in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) survey. The study identifies six possible criteria for public private collaborations in tourism disaster management, namely the formation of special organization regulation for critical facilities in disaster management, tourism planning which considers disaster risk awareness, and tourism industry associations' enhanced role in improving disaster risk awareness. Through AHP surveys involving experts, it is found that there is a different level of disaster preparedness between regions and different priorities chosen by their stakeholders. Higher level of disaster preparedness and a more practical implementation of disaster management in one of the regions (Bali) is likely due to the influence of international market demand.
