Creating a link between tourism and disaster risk reduction and management is particularly important in places that rely heavily on tourism and, at the same time, are prone to natural hazards.  Many tourists don't talk the local dialect and can't without much of a stretch find directions of how to carry on in a calamity setting. Nobody can assure earthquake safety unless if anyone is aware of earthquake consequences and gets prepared. Man tourist destinations are lacking the sufficient notice boards and emergency contact numbers, thus the conduct of visitors is harder to control in case of a fiasco. This makes a more grounded need to effective disaster management in the tourism industry and tourist destination. Away from home, in unfamiliar surroundings when an earthquake/disaster hits a tourist area, the priority of voyagers is to go home first and this powerful urge to exit facilitate many other gigantic difficulties that are hard to manage.

So I am currently looking for article /report and similar items on awareness level amongst International tourists regarding measures to be taken at earthquake prone destination.

 if you know any information on this, could you please share with me?

Thank you
