Abstract
Recently, the world has experienced an increased number of natural and man-made disasters. These disasters change the direction of the tourism industry. The impact of each disaster is felt by multi-stakeholders, such as policymakers (government), businesses (direct and indirect), personnel, financial stakeholders and communities. The nature of the impact varies from one stakeholder to another at different levels. The challenges faced by these stakeholders indicate that the prevailing policies disregard the real plight of multiple stakeholders. These policies are dominated by a single (the government's) perspective. Therefore, the holistic recovery of destinations with such tourism disaster management policies has been hampered. It is important to build resilience by incorporating multi-stakeholder perspectives of disaster management. Therefore, this conceptual chapter proposes a way of thinking and acting about disaster management that is based on the recognition of the importance of multi-angles and stakeholders. It is grounded on a critical analysis of current disaster management models and policies.
