Changing government attitudes: development and management of new knowledge on security and safety in tourism

Abstract

The primary aim of this chapter is to determine the central and emerging challenges for asset protection and procedural safety given contemporary and ongoing social/political/economic threats to stability. These challenges are compounded by internal difficulties with respect to the workforce and prerequisite skills. The further intention of this chapter therefore is to provide recommendations for industry and management in addressing and overcoming these challenges while maintaining competitive operations.
