Building a resilient tourism business

Building a resilient tourism business involves understanding the risks and developing a practical plan for how your business can prepare for and continue to operate after an incident or crisis.

Business continuity

You should begin by preparing a business continuity plan. This will help your business recover quickly if an incident does happen. You may not be able to predict every kind of incident that could threaten your business, but you can develop a plan that covers a range of incidents.
