“Blessing In Disguise”: The Impact Of The Wenchuan Earthquake On Inbound Tourist Arrivals In Sichuan, China, Li Huang, Xin Yin, Yang Yang, Mingzhi Luo, Songshan (Sam) Huang

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

By analysing the long-term effect of the Wenchuan earthquake on inbound tourist arrivals in Sichuan, this study probes the long-term recovery of inbound tourist arrivals in disaster areas. Empirical evidence reveals the existence of a “Blessing in Disguise” effect, as the growth of overall inbound tourist arrivals to Sichuan after the earthquake has significantly increased. Moreover, we show that this “blessing in disguise” effect is a specific phenomenon, contrasting with China's overall inbound tourism during the same period. This study contributes to the overall knowledge of post-disaster tourism recovery. Managerial implications for post-disaster tourism destinations are discussed.
