STEP 8: Analyze the Tourism Sector within the
context of the National DRM System to
determine its vulnerability to the priority
hazards.
Understanding of the national DRM governance,
structures, system, procedures and key stakeholders
is essential to determine how Tourism DRM
interfaces with this environment. The SDWG analysis
couples the knowledge of the National Tourism
Sector’s structure and composition with knowledge
of the country’s priority hazards.
