Tourism & Destination Resilience

We apply standardized, empirical risk and sustainability scoring specifically designed for the hospitality sector. By assessing structural vulnerabilities against localized natural hazards (such as tropical cyclones, earthquakes, and climate change), we provide hotels, destination management organizations and investors with a definitive resilience metric. 

This allows for objective risk comparison across global hotel portfolios and targets precise areas for capital expenditure to safeguard life-safety, ensure business continuity, and protect physical assets.

The economic viability of a tourism destination is directly linked to its unique climate. We model forward-looking shifts in the tourism climate conditions, analyzing how temperature extremes, changing precipitation patterns of rain and snow, and rising humidity will fundamentally alter "ideal travel weather."

This predictive capability helps destination management organizations (DMOs) and large hotel groups anticipate shifting peak seasons, adapt their physical infrastructure, and maintain guest comfort and safety under entirely new climatic baselines.

Individual property assessments cannot capture the systemic risks facing a broader tourist destination. Drawing on our extensive work with state-level tourism boards, we develop comprehensive Regional Destination Resilience Benchmarks. This service evaluates the interconnected vulnerabilities of entire tourism ecosystems, ranging from local transport infrastructure and emergency response capabilities to the socio-economic dependencies of the local workforce.

By aggregating high-resolution multi-peril hazard, exposure and vulnerability data across distinct tourism territories, we create standardized, empirical preparedness indices. This macro-level analysis empowers Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) and government agencies to compare regional risk profiles, pinpoint systemic weak spots, allocate adaptation funding effectively, and build cohesive, state-wide climate preparedness strategies.
