“…Innovative actions can be developed within any facet of the tourism industry that underwent the impact of disasters and target: products, processes, management practices, logistics practices, and institutional values (Hjalager, ). This is further emphasized by Seraphin () who suggests that the Caribbean TBs can develop “special interest tourism” to capitalize upon the annual hurricane season, with this innovative approach prompting business engagement in new tourist markets and redefining destination image. This, however, signals a clear need for collaboration of PMs and TBs.…”

“…This pinpoints the importance of developing preparedness measures at the predisaster stage (Miller & Ritchie, ) and ensuring stakeholder collaboration aiming to manage the effects of disasters (Brown et al, ) including the negative impact on the consumer perception of a destination (Hystad & Keller, ). The postdisaster stages offer a learning opportunity for destinations and the tourism enterprises within (Wilkinson et al, ) and provide a medium to redefine the destination through (re‐) development (Seraphin, ). Importantly, aiming to return to the predisaster state is unrealistic and prevents the destination and its tourism industry from developing approaches to reduce the impacts from future disasters (Faulkner & Vikulov, ).…”

The disaster management principles should be integrated into the destination management plans to enhance resilience of tourist destinations to natural disasters. The success of such integration depends on the extent of tourism stakeholder collaboration, but this topic remains understudied, especially in the Caribbean. This paper evaluates tourism resilience in Grenada. It finds that local tourism stakeholders are well aware of the potential damage natural disasters can inflict on the destination but fail to develop effective measures to build destination‐wide and organizational resilience. The paper proposes an action framework to aid tourism stakeholders in Grenada to more effectively plan for disasters.

“…Within the hospitality industry the concept of sustainability has also been applied to a range of natural disasters and emergencies (e.g. de Sausmarez 2009;Loperana 2016;Seraphim 2018), but the focus has usually been on the local, regional or the national level. Gossling et al (2020), for example, argued that previous work on pandemics, has focused on their impact in individual countries, rather than on systemic challenges.…”

Purpose This paper offers some reflections on changes in the relationships between sustainability and the hospitality industry following the onset of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis. (Covid-19 is officially a pandemic, but the term “COVID-19 crisis” is used throughout this paper because the authors feel that it captures the wider impacts of the crisis, rather than just focussing on the disease itself). Design/methodology/approach The paper describes the COVID-19 crisis, emphasises the role of hospitality in economic and social life and reviews how the crisis has changed the relationships between sustainability and the hospitality industry. Findings The paper reveals the dramatic effect the crisis has had on sustainability in the hospitality industry. That said, though the crisis has offered a vision of a more sustainable future, this vision may pose a major challenge for the industry and for many of its traditional customers. Research limitations/implications The paper outlines some of the theoretical, operational, strategic and research implications of the crisis for the hospitality industry and for hospitality scholars. Originality/value This paper provides a reflective review of changes in the relationships between sustainability and the hospitality industry following the onset of COVID-19.

“…Botzen et al (2019) initiated the call for the policy makers to integrate economic and environmental policies in a way to combat disaster episodes with climate-friendly policies. Seraphin (2019) argued that natural disasters affect country's economic growth through damaging the natural herbage, which culminated the tourism industry. The need of effective disaster management adaptation policies to manage tourist's destinations is high need for supporting international tourism across countries.…”

The objective of the study is to examine the impact of natural disasters on external migration, price level, poverty incidence, health expenditures, energy and environmental resources, water demand, financial development, and economic growth in a panel of selected Asian countries for a period of 2005-2017. The results confirm that natural disasters in the form of storm and flood largely increase migration, price level, and poverty incidence, which negatively influenced country's economic resources, including enlarge healthcare expenditures, high energy demand, and low economic growth. The study further presented the following results: i) natural resource depletion increases external migration, ii) FDI inflows increase price level, iii) increase healthcare spending and energy demand decreases poverty headcount, iv) poverty incidence and mortality rate negatively influenced healthcare expenditures, v) industrialization increases energy demand, and vi) agriculture value added, fertilizer, and cereal yields required more water supply to produce greater yield. The study emphasized the need to magnify the intensity of natural disasters and create natural disaster mitigation unit to access the human and infrastructure cost and attempt quick recovery for global prosperity.
