“…This finding shows that the hotels have generally been more vulnerable to a wide range of disasters and emergencies and highly susceptible to it. This is consistent with Paraskevas and Arendell [10], and Ritchie [35] findings who argued that the unstable global tourism environment result in making hospitality organizations highly vulnerable to disasters and emergencies.…”

“…Scholars discussed the impact of terrorism on the tourism industry and argued that terrorism and instability have a considerable bad effect on tourism industry [10]. Ichinosawa [16] explored the impacts of natural disasters on tourism industry and argued that such event will disturb the destination with a bad impact on local community, stakeholders, and economy.…”

Abstract. This paper aims to identify major emergencies that have the potential to place hotels in emergency and disaster situations; investigate how hotels were prepared for emergencies, how they manage and overcome emergencies when occurred; and limitations and factors influencing successful emergency planning and adoption emergency management in Malaysian and Jordanian hotels. Face-to-face interview for managers from three, four and five star hotels from different backgrounds: local; regional; and International in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Amman and Petra were undertaken. Results revealed that hotels are exposed to a wide range of natural and man-made disasters, Occurred globally affected locally. Hotels lack proactive emergency planning and a lot of constraints which impede successful emergency planning for disasters in the hotel industry, with emphasizing on the relevant authority's role to demonstrate emergency management to hotels convincing them to adopt such practices, so they can be able to cope with emergencies effectively.

“…Crisis management scholars have developed several models of crisis management all offering different explanations of crisis with no real convention on how to deal with crisis, however no particular model has been tested empirically in the context of terrorism and or-ganisational response to crisis (Paraskevas and Arendell, 2007). Quarantelli (1986) observed that crisis management of disaster does not follow automatically from disaster planning but from activities of emergency organisations and identifi ed areas of problems in disaster management to be communication process, the exercise of authority, and the development of coordination.…”

ABSTRACT. This research study set to develop KPIs for airport safety and security using a case study and ethnographic approach to research, the focus was on the role of Facilities Management (FM) in improving safety and security at the airport. The study centred on the management and staff of the case study airport and experts in the fi eld of facilities management and aviation. The methodology for this study is a case study of three Scottish airports, owned and operated by the BAA Scotland (Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen international airports). Data was collected from Civil Aviation Agency, analysed and presented in the study. The study developed a three 'AAA' model (Airport -Aircraft -Airport) and a 3 stage approach to the research process. Evidence in this paper supports the conclusion that planning for airport safety and security are airport specifi c because no two airports are exactly the same, they differ in their; sizes, mode of operations, passenger type and fl ight destinations.

“…Aligned with the characteristics and narrative of each era, scholars measured the impact and effect of events for the industry (Enders, Sandler, & Parise, 1992;Saha & Yap, 2014), developed destination-recovery strategies (Blake & Sinclair, 2003), proposed destination-image restoration tactics (Avraham, 2013), introduced holistic strategic disaster/crises management approaches (Mansfeld, 1999), and propounded destination-specific anti-terrorism strategies (Paraskevas & Arendell, 2007). Despite the extensive coverage, numerous scholars (Chan, Lim, & McAleer, 2005; Paraskevas, Altinay, McLean, & Cooper, 2013) have argued that the severity and urgency of the topic, especially due to the substantial cost increase of conducting day-to-day business (Chen & Siems, 2004), necessitates research that expand the collective conceptual capital in metrics and controls, both of which are essential in managing knowledge in tourism crises.…”

Abstract. Following the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, the European media emphatically pronounced that billions of euros were wiped from tourism related stocks. This comes at a troublesome time for the tourism industry, in the midst of a global financial crisis, and the unpredictable rise of radical Islamic ideologies, which have caused chaos in the Middle East and Europe. The relationship and vulnerability of the industry to non-macro incidents have been well documented in the literature, mostly in theoretical terms. Nevertheless, the quantifiable impact of such events on tourism-specific stock values, both in terms of returns and volatility, received much less attention. With the use of an econometric methodology, the paper aims to enhance our conceptual capital pertaining to the effects of such possibilities on five hospitality and tourism stock indices. The empirical findings are of interest to stakeholders at all echelons of the spectra of the tourism and financial industries
