Background of the Study

According to the study, tourism industry in the Philippines is potentially at risk from both natural
and man-made disasters. Many of the travelers are concern about the safety and security of them when
traveling in the Philippines especially those who have children. It affects the tourism as well as the
economy of the Philippines. If this issue is not taken seriously the tourism industry in the Philippines will
surely decline. The tourism sector must plan to anticipate these crises and manage the after effects
better when, not if, they occur. This case study shows how the inevitability of such ‘shocks’ and ‘wild
card’ events has been dealt with within the tourism sector and how the process of crisis management
has been developed. The primary tourism related crisis and risk that are researched are diseases,
terrorism within transportation, terrorism at destination, natural disasters, technical failures, theft,
kidnapping and political disputes. This article concludes that the discourse on crisis in tourism raises
fundamental concerns about the way that the notion of crisis is conceptualized and what constitutes
normality.
