Research Summary

Abstract:

In a context where the global tourism sector is frequently exposed to multiple crises, such 
as pandemics, natural disasters, and economic instability, this study focuses on the resilience 
of tourist destinations in the face of disruptions. The central issue examines the ability of 
destinations to adapt and maintain their attractiveness by relying on effective risk 
management practices. To address this issue, a hypothetico-deductive approach was 
adopted, with the collection and analysis of quantitative data using the structural equation 
 modeling (PLS) method. 
The main findings reveal that technological innovation and the promotion of sustainability 
have a significant effect on the resilience of tourist destinations, confirming their crucial 
role in adaptation and transformation in the face of crises. However, the study did not 
validate the impact of managers' profiles or strategic communication, suggesting variable 
effectiveness depending on the context.
