Tourism Sector Disaster Recovery Framework Guide

The main purpose of the ‘Tourism Sector Disaster Recovery Framework (DRF) Guide’ is to assist national and local governments, relevant private sector partners, intergovernmental organizations and implementing partners in developing a sectoral DRF, comprising effective and efficient recovery programs for the sector. It is to be read in conjunction with the DRF guide.

While the composition of the industry is multifaceted, and several cross-sectoral services compound the complexity of the sector; the focus of this Tourism Sector DRF Guide is on the Accommodations and Food and Beverage components of the sector. It follows the structure of the UNDP’s generic Disaster Recovery Framework (DRF) guide, paying particular attention to pre-disaster planning and the incorporation of vulnerability assessment and risk reduction in keeping with the tenet of the global agenda to ‘Build Back Better, stronger, and more inclusive’.
