Abstract
Summary This case study evaluates Iceland’s emergency response plans for mitigating the impact of natural disasters on tourists. Recent natural disasters, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions from late 2023 to early 2024, are discussed to illustrate the implementation of these plans. The study outlines the main components of Iceland’s emergency response plan, highlighting the roles of government agencies, police districts, and tourism-related groups. It emphasizes the plan’s effectiveness in prioritizing the safety of tourists through evacuation procedures, mitigation measures, and coordination among stakeholders. Recommendations for improvement include the implementation of disaster aid insurance plans and regular reviews and adjustments to the emergency response plan. These recommendations aim to enhance preparedness and resilience in the face of future disasters. Information © The Authors 2024
