Risk Management and Tourism Oriented Policing/Protection Services For a Multi-cultural and Interconnected World
Tourism is one of the world's leading industries and a major economic development tool, and as such, security (crime and terrorism) has a major impact on the tourism and event oriented economies. When public officials are tourism-sensitive they tend to be more tolerant of the needs of diverse populations and offer the general public better service. Tourists today demand safety and security by well-trained professionals. The hospitality industry's number one job is to protect its guests. If it fails in this regard, all else become irrelevant. Real security involves training, education, investments in software and the understanding that security is not a simplistic discipline. Tourism security personnel need continual training and must be flexible enough to adjust their procedure to a constantly changing environment. One of the propositions to note is that as customer service increases, so does tourism security. Security plus service and value for money will become the basis for the 21st century tourism success!
