Date Time New research finds tourism sector at risk from ‘lone wolf’ terror attacks A groundbreaking piece of research has called for the tourism sector to urgently address shortcomings in its terrorism risk management – particularly with regard to the threat posed by dynamic ‘lone wolf’ attacks. Academics at the Universities of Plymouth, Hertfordshire and Harper Adams say there is a critical need for the sector to develop a ‘portfolio of terrorism-specific risk management plans’ that cover a diverse range of scenarios, and ensure better training for all staff and stakeholders. As part of this, tour operators need to play a greater role in conducting risk assessments and ensuring management is actioned appropriately, as well as better communicating risks to customers beyond the standard practice of referring them to international travel advice.
