About the course

PATA’s Tourism Destination Resilience (TDR) course was created to help build a more resilient tourism industry by assisting destinations in their COVID-19 recovery, but, most importantly, by preparing them for future crises that will certainly come.

The course applauds and credits the foundation of materials and resources developed over the past decades while building new strategies tailored for our post-COVID, locked-down, digital world. This wealth of resources is referenced throughout the course as well as select documents available from the PATA Crisis Resource Center searchable resource library.

This course joins destination management, destination stewardship, risk assessment, risk management and adaptive capacity to build a comprehensive destination resilience framework as a necessary step for sustainable tourism development.
