Abstract

The aims of this study are to reconstruct pre-existing frameworks and thereafter modify them by incorporating insights gained from the occurrence of disasters in Indonesia. There is a pressing need for developing a new model that can effectively and efficiently assist the management of tourism-related disasters, incorporating robust resilience measures to enhance overall outcomes. This research employs a comprehensive literature review approach by examining 68 articles from the Scopus database about tourism disaster management, with a specific focus on Indonesia. The research findings indicate a novel framework of four distinct phases that have been developed, incorporating strategic aspects and fundamental reactions to manage tourism disasters. These stages encompass pre-disaster, disaster, post-disaster, and future views of disasters to provide a comprehensive of the responsible players involved, and potential solutions for effectively managing future tourism disasters. In order to enhance the capacity of these actors to devise more adaptable and effective strategies for predicting and mitigating the impacts of tourism, it is imperative to foster their ability to produce flexible and efficient solutions. Moreover, the utilization of research findings as a point of reference for establishing new policies is applicable to nations with relevance, developmental similarities, or geographical proximity to Indonesia.
