Under the motto “Tourism at Risk: Adapting Destinations to Climate and Disaster Challenges,” Dr. Bijan Khazai explains in the eighth session of the DKKV Lunchtalk series how climate and disaster risks are increasingly shaping the future of tourism and why resilience has often lagged behind investment and planning decisions.
Using international case studies – including examples from California, the Canary Islands, Canada, and Small Island Developing States – the presentation shows how data-based risk analyses, resilience frameworks, and digital tools can help destinations move from reactive crisis management to strategic, competitive resilience planning.
Dr. Bijan Khazai is CEO of Risklayer GmbH and Hotel Resilient and has more than 20 years of experience in risk assessment, resilience planning, and disaster preparedness. He has led numerous international research and consulting projects for municipalities, tourism destinations, governments, and the private sector.
