Risk Management plays an important role in the sustainability of all businesses

The Australian Tourism Industry Council (ATIC), with the support of EarthCheck have developed a range of resources to assist businesses in Disaster and Risk Management. These resources were designed to help businesses understand risks, along with strategies for readiness, response, recovery and prevention, all contributing to the development of business sustainability.

The resources available include;

Don’t Risk It Manual

Don’t Risk It– A guide to assist tourism businesses to prevent, respond and recover from a disaster was developed for the Australian Tourism Industry Council by EarthCheck.

The Don’t Risk It manual is aimed to help tourism businesses identify potential risks that could impact their operations, reputation and bottom line. These risks can range from natural disasters, health and safety concerns, to socio-political issues. Through identifying these risks, businesses can take proactive measures to mitigate the impact.

The manual encourages businesses to regularly review and adapt their risk management based on changing circumstances and new insights. This ensures that businesses remain up to date and well-prepared to address emerging risks. Through understanding the process, businesses can develop a risk management plan that will aid in preventing, preparing, responding and recovering should a risk occur.

The manual serves as an available resource for tourism businesses of all sizes looking to thrive in adynamic and ever-changing industry while minimising risks and contributing to a more sustainable future.
