Sustainable Tourism and Disaster Recovery: A Case Study of Scotland and the Republic of Ireland

Hejjas, Kelsy; Maguire, Kelly

Abstract

With tourism central to the strategic plans of Scotland and Ireland, both countries aim to address issues of sustainability. Research finds that crisis, like Covid-19, can be used to improve existing conditions beyond their pre-disaster state, suggesting disaster recovery can lead to more sustainable tourism development. This research in progress therefore examines the application of the European Tourism Indicator System (ETIS) as a tool to facilitate greater sustainability within the tourism industries of Scotland and Ireland, developing an evidence-informed approach to sustainable tourism development and management.
