Webinars in March:

Crisis Management

Date: March 6, 2012

Time: 12:30 pm (Bangkok time)

Speakers:

Bert van Walbeek, Managing Director, The Winning Edge, and Chairman, PATA Thailand Chapter

David Beirman, Senior Lecturer, University of Technology, Sydney

 

Now that crises are becoming part of everyday managerial life, the need to be prepared is becoming a duty for each hospitality organisation. The good old times of being able to think “it won’t happen to me“ are long gone.

 

PATA has now established a Rapid Recovery Task Force to address post-crisis recovery strategies in the face of natural, economic, or political upheavals across countries.

 

The Task Force is comprised of PATA members who will work on these issues and consequently devise rapid response strategies that will provide the industry with a pro-active action plan, and resources to speed its recovery after a crisis.

 

The Task Force will be conducting a series of monthly webinars, directed at owners and senior executives of all tourism operators which accept the responsibility for the safety and security of their customers, staff and assets, as well as recognize the shared liability towards the branding of the destination.

 

In the first webinar David Beirman and Bert van Walbeek will present: Risk Evaluation and Avoidance Preparation. They will offer food for thought on how tourism organizations can prepare themselves more effectively for crises to come.
