Establishing a robust coordination system is essential for resilience in the tourism sector, involving both public and private stakeholders across various sectors. Horizontal coordination among national, regional, and local government agencies fosters cooperation and information sharing, enabling joint decision-making to tackle common challenges. Collaboration with finance and security departments is critical during crises, ensuring comprehensive support for tourism. Engaging diverse stakeholders promotes a cohesive approach to tourism development that addresses varying needs. Given the sector's vulnerability to crises, it is vital for tourism to be actively involved in crisis preparedness and management discussions to ensure its unique needs are met.
