evaluate the impacts of the principles of health, safety and security legislation on the travel and tourism sector

Travel and tourism health and safety measurements

If visitor health and safety is not well managed, adverse incidents can significantly impact on the profitability and sustainability of an individual business, community or destination. If a visitor feels threatened or unsafe during a trip this may impact on length of stay and expenditure in a destination and decrease the likelihood of repeat visitation and word-of-mouth referrals. If a destination develops a negative image for visitor safety this will likely result in a declining visitor market for the region.
