To address the critical need to prepare tourism industry professionals for crises, the Tourism Crisis Management Institute developed a comprehensive Online Tourism Crisis Management Certificate for Destination Management Organizations (DMOs), Attractions, and Lodging Industry professionals. Two additional certificates will target the cruise industry along with travel intermediaries. The certificates focus on crisis reduction, readiness, response, and recovery efforts from natural- and human-induced disasters that might affect destinations or businesses. Upon completion, participants will receive a Certificate of Participation from the University of Florida. For additional information about the online certificate program, please view our program overview.
