Your business may be facing risks you have never even thought about

We all think that we have everything under control in our businesses and that all risks are covered, but in the last year or so I have increasingly been meeting people whose businesses have been snookered from a direction they never even envisaged.

Who would imagine that an exchange rate shift in the USA or Europe could damage your tour guiding business or travel agency in Australia, or that floods in the UK, a cyclone in the US or even drought here in Australia could affect your business?

Well, help is at hand for Australian, New Zealand and South Pacific tourism and hospitality businesses facing crises ranging from staff shortages and computer crashes, to big picture problems like a drop in visitors due to natural disasters, terrorism, political unrest, epidemics or causes beyond your direct control and for under $20 this 90 minute teleseminar will give you some of the key tools to crisis proof your business.

Crisis Proofing Your Business – a Tourism Teleseminar, will be led by a global expert on crisis management in the tourism industry and author of Restoring Tourism Destinations in Crisis, Dr David Beirman, who will offer tourism businesses practical advice during the special telephone or webcast seminar on Tuesday August 14, presented by business consulting firm Icon Tourism……….you do nto even have to leave your desk and all you need is a phone or computer! 

“There is plenty a tourism business can do to minimise the impact of a crisis on a destination or business,” said Dr Beirman, adding “Many businesses don’t realise that by following a few simple steps, they can prepare for and minimise all kinds of potential problems, big or small”.

“Events like a bushfire, drought, flood, cyclone or airline problems don’t have to spell disaster for tourism businesses.”

Dr Beirman will answer your questions and provide strategies and solutions to help tourism businesses prepare for a wide range potential risks and threats.

His strategies have been used worldwide by all manner of tourism businesses – tour operators, Travel agents, wholesalers, attractions, hotels, destination marketing organisations, wineries, and others.

Dr Beirman will be the keynote speaker during the teleconference and web simulcast on August 14.   

Participants from all over Australia and New Zealand and the South Pacific can join in for a fraction of the cost of a sit down seminar.

Principal of Icon Tourism, Manny Papadoulis, said the advice provided by Dr Beirman will be invaluable to tourism operators,”  adding, “Crisis proofing your business is like taking out an insurance policy”.
