Globalization as a driving force: implementation of preventive measures to counter natural hazards in the tourism industry: historical context

Abstract

The purpose of the article covers several key areas: globalization as a context: to investigate how globalization processes (in particular, the rapid development of tourism, the interdependence of markets) affect the spread and management of risks associated with natural hazards; impact assessment – to analyze the consequences of natural hazards on the development of the tourism industry, which is confirmed by the subsection “results of natural hazards for tourism development”; justification of preventive measures: to identify and describe existing or necessary measures to prevent and minimize the consequences of natural hazards; resilience and recommendations: to provide practical recommendations and strategies for reducing risks in order to ensure the resilience of the tourism industry to natural hazards. Мethods and methodology of conducting the research. The methodological basis of the work is: the method of theoretical research, induction and deduction, observation, comparison, analysis and synthesis. The methodology is based on the principles of: systematicity, scientificity, objectivity, determinism, unity of external influences and internal conditions of development. Scientific novelty . focused on rethinking natural risk management strategies in the tourism sector, shifting the emphasis to preventive resilience in the context of globalization. The study reveals the mechanism through which globalization acts as a “driving force”, which not only increases the scale of tourism activities, but also complicates the management of risks from natural hazards. A conceptual model of tourism industry resilience is substantiated, which is based on preventive, and not only ex post facto, measures integrated into global tourism policy. Organizational and economic mechanisms are being determined for the implementation of the proposed preventive measures at the level of tourism enterprises, regional administrations, and international tourism organizations. The results of the study will contribute to the formation of a scientifically sound set of preventive strategies, methods and policies that can be used by stakeholders (tourism companies, government bodies, international organizations) to increase their preparedness and resilience to natural hazards in the context of globalization.
