the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes in Japan. The three chapters taken together are also interesting because of the different perspectives they provide of the role that tourism can play in the aftermath of earthquake related disasters.
Chapters 8 to 10 move from the response stage to more of a focus on recovery. Chapter 8 by Mardiah et al. examines the contribution of handicraft shopping tourism to economic recovery after the 2006 Jogjakarta Earthquake, with particular focus on the nature of government and institutional interventions, the development of a recovery network, and ongoing issues of risk perceptions. Chapter 9 by Fang et al. looks at the interrelationships between recovery and resilience and their interplay at individual, organizational and destination scales with respect to tourism entrepreneurs in Kaikōura, New Zealand, following the November 2016 earthquakes. Finally, Chapter 10 by Wright looks at the controversial issue of post-earthquake ‘dark’ and ‘ghost’ in L’Aquila, Italy. The three chapters collectively highlight the complexity of the tourism system’s response to earthquake disasters and the difficult relationships that may develop between tourism and non-tourism recovery goals. The final chapter by Prayag and Hall (Chapter 11) reinforce the major themes of the book and highlight some of the significant research gaps that exist in research on tourism and earthquakes.
Earthquakes and tsunamis undoubtedly have a major impact on communities and destinations and those that experience them and perceptions of risk and place. One of the great weaknesses of much tourism research on the effects of earthquakes is that it only examines a particular moment of the earthquake disaster, response and recovery cycle. Comprehensive long-term overviews are limited or are still being put into place. However, the present assembly of chapters hopefully at least provide some indication of the ongoing response of tourism, tourists and communities to the challenges that earthquakes pose in at-risk destinations and the social, economic and environmental benefits that improved planning and preparedness may bring.
