Multi-Hazard Risks and Resilience Insights for European Tourism

Dear HOTREC Members,

We are pleased to share new policy insights and practical tools developed through the Horizon MYRIAD-EU research programme, in which HOTREC represents the tourism value chain. The sectoral brief, Reducing Risks Together: Multi-hazards and Multi-risks in the Tourism Sector, provides practical methodologies to support destinations in planning for systemic, multi-hazard risk.

Why This Matters for Your Association

Tourism SMEs increasingly face climate-induced losses, food-supply instability, soaring insurance costs, transport disruptions, labour shortages and evolving governance challenges. The MYRIAD-EU framework provides:

• Evidence-based impact modelling tools

• Governance models and intersectoral coordination strategies

• Solutions to protect SMEs through insurance schemes, risk pools and financing mechanisms

• Practical applications based on the Canary Islands pilot case.

Tools for National Associations

Members are invited to use the brief:

• In dialogue with national ministries for resilience financing and adaptation planning

• For stakeholder workshops on risk mapping and preparedness

• For strategic engagement on destination master plans and land-use decisions
