This chapter focuses on risk communication in the tourism sector. Tourism organizations must communicate with a variety of stakeholders when conveying messages about impending severe weather or disasters, which are increasing due climate change and sea level rise. There is also an increased need to distribute information to tourism stakeholders about preparing for, continuing service during, and recovering from, disasters. Stakeholders involved with the tourism industry include business owners, government officials and tourists, all of whom have differing degrees of vulnerability in a destination when a threat occurs. Different messages regarding disaster preparation and recovery must be communicated to the different stakeholders, and often industry associations or convention and visitors' bureaus are responsible for relaying these messages. The chapter provides an overview of previous research on risk communication. The authors then detail a case study about improving risk communication and information among tourism stakeholders in coastal Virginia. The chapter concludes with lessons for public officials, destination management organizations, and tourism business owners to improve their risk communication.

Tourism is currently the world's largest industry and the fastest growing sector of the market. Tourism is usually viewed as being multidimensional, possessing physical, social, cultural, economic and political characteristics. Worldwide tourism is ranked second highest revenue-generating industry. There is a large potential market for rural tourism especially for foreign tourists, which has not yet developed because government has not taken up any systematic approach to attract foreign tourists. The basic concept of rural tourism is to benefit the local community through entrepreneurial opportunities, income generation, employment opportunities, conservation and development of rural arts and crafts, investment for infrastructure development and preservation of the environment and heritage. Rural tourism will bring people of different cultures, faiths, languages and life-styles close to one another and it will provide a broader outlook of life. It will not only generate employment for the people but it can also develop social, cultural and educational values.

[EN] In this paper we analyze the employment situation of Spanish women, starting with a brief review of the historical background, the institutions created for women and the current situation within the tourism sector. Statistical data about women and their participation in the tourism labor market from different Spanish regions will be presented. European Union legislation and laws regarding protection and prevention of inequality in both genders will be summarized. Today women want to work and promote in their organizations, but there still exists a problem reconciling work and family life, despite their support. Inequality in reward and promoting policies still remain in Spain, most cases in hotels and restaurants. ; Bustamante Reyes, G.; Canós-Darós, L. (2015). Women and Spanish tourism industry.
