Tourism risk management is essential in mitigating the risks in tourism. Tourism companies are increasingly facing incidents that involve risks for both travelers and the tourism industry. These events can have a tremendous negative impact on tourism destinations. Also, the damage to a destination’s image may have even longer-lasting effects than the actual crisis damage. Diseases in tourism are one of the risks facing tourism. It is essential to learn to address risk management issues and reduce the impact of crises and disasters. Crises can also create opportunities; they can shake up the market by making tourists look for new destinations. Countries that are first to come up with a reasonable offer can be winners. Hence, minimizing risks in tourism require effective risk management planning.

RISKS IN TOURISM AND THEIR EFFECT ON TOURISM MANAGEMENT

There are several risks in tourism, which include health and financial tourism risks. Risk and uncertainty in travel decision-making have become an important research area. Two dominant strategies exist in tourism research to study risk and uncertainty in travel decision-making. Therefore, one branch of research investigates real destination choices (DCS) using secondary data from tourist arrivals. The focus of this research branch is on a better understanding of the outcome of DC. Diseases in tourism make up for destination choice research areas. The second strategy addresses perceptions of risk as an influencing factor of DC. Tourism risk management can help to reduce the impact of uncertainties in tourism.

DISEASES IN TOURISM AND THE EFFECT OF TOURIST IGNORANCE

There are several diseases in tourism that pose a risk to travelers. Several studies have confirmed that many travelers — sometimes more than half — do not seek adequate pre-travel advice. Thus, they go without proper knowledge about disease avoidance, vaccines, and self-treatment options. Risks in tourism, such as diseases, lead to adverse impacts. Although this does not translate to adverse outcomes for many, others will find themselves unprepared for an illness. These events can prematurely end a holiday or business trip, lead to high medical expenses. Lastly, tourism risk management can help in ensuring tourists are aware of health risks in foreign countries.
