Interesting article. It’s very unfortunate that over the last 10 years, the travel industry has already been able to to deal with terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, influenza, swine flu, and also the first ever real global economic downturn. Through everthing the industry has really proven to be solid, resilient and also dynamic, acquiring new approaches to deal with adversity. There are often fresh problems and opportunities to which the field must just as before adapt and act in response.
