Abstract: Tourism, festivals, and special events are usually
not considered in conjunction with disasters or disruptive
events. As the notions of tourism, festivals
and other special events reflect enjoyment and relaxation,
whereas disasters bring to mind distress,
fear, and even panic. Nevertheless, it must be remembered
that whether natural or caused by man,
disaster occurrences have been and continue to be a
part of life that we must deal with. While each special
event has different characteristics, they all share
a vulnerability to emergency situations. Because special
events bring large numbers of people together,
they reflect an increased need for special planning
for the unexpected.
