9, 2009 - Tourism safety and security goes far beyond the aftermath of
terrorist attacks or hurricanes. Nothing has been more evident in recent
months. From the downturn in visitation to Mexico and lawsuits against
hotels involving bed bugs, to crimes targeting tourists, mis-steps often
impact the number of visitors to a city and reduce visitor spending --
and reputations are difficult to repair.

The one-day conference, in its 10th year, is time-effective and cost-effective for people wanting to be at the forefront of providing tourist-oriented services to visitors.
