Abstract

Dünya turizm sektörü bazı önemli uluslararası olayların neticesinde ciddi kayıplar yaşamış ve doğal afet risklerinin şiddeti özellikle sigorta sektörü açısından sürdürülebilir turizm tartışmalarının ana konusu haline gelmiştir. Birçok turizm merkezi çeşitli tehlikelerden doğal, teknolojik, biyolojik ve toplumsal/politik kaynaklı afetler ile yüz yüze gelmektedir. Sürdürülebilir turizm için risk yönetimi, doğal afetlerin turizm sektörüne yönelik olumsuz etkilerini giderebilmek üzere yapılacak planlama ve uygulama süreçlerini kapsamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, doğal afetlerin temel unsurlarını ve bunların turizm merkezleri üzerine etkilerini tartışmak, ayrıca sürdürülebilir turizm için risk yönetim sürecine bir alt yapı sağlamaktır
