The information presented has been released exclusively by the relevant national and international professional organisations. The article also proposes specific solutions which, if implemented, could enhance the ability of
communities to respond effectively and efficiently to new global threats concerning health security and tourist safety. The article tries to answer the question what successful managers in tourist
