| Publisher Description: Beginning with a general section on risk management, covering areas such as disaster management, terrorism, crime and security, the book then delves deeper into specific issues and challenges of religious tourism and events. It reviews important topics such as understanding the behavior of crowds, how to perform a risk assessment for a sacred space, and travelling in what some would regard as an increasingly hostile world. Examining critically all risk and safety challenges in this area of management, the book: includes a full section of global case studies, as well as discussion questions for each chapter, encouraging readers to translate theory into good practice; offers critical thinking on risk, vulnerability and long-term development for mass gatherings; and covers the importance of disaster management practices and offers practical advice for ensuring attendees' safety. |
