Tourism is greatly affected by any natural disasters. One example of this is the affect that Hurricane Katrina left on New Orleans in 2005. It left more than 80% of New Orleans underwater and it also blew away the state’s biggest state of revenue - tourism. This in 2004 drew more than 10 million tourists and also created 80,000 tourism related jobs. Hurricane Katrina caused a major downfall in new Orleans economy And this is just one specific example. Almost any major natural disaster will have a large affect on tourism.

ReplyDeleteAs Nadine said natural disasters affect the tourism in the area that has been affected by the natural disasters. As for Haiti, before the earthquake they were planning to build their first comfort Inn but because of the earthquake their planed failed. At this time they had more important issues to deal with other than trying to attract tourism. For example they tried to find shelter for the citizens of Haiti.
