The turn of the century has brought many dangerous and unseen risks for the tourist system. The methodological limitation of risk perception theory to make safer destinations has led towards a new paradigm where risk-management the pace to post-disaster consumption. The precautionary logic, which plays a leading role in the risk perception paradigm, is replaced by a type of morbid consumption (ipso facto) where adaptation is vital. Having said this, post-disaster tourism flourishes in a moment where the tourism industry -if not tourism epistemology- seems to be in crisis. The present paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of current post-disaster tourism research to unpack the proper experiences and information recollected during my own ethnographies in Republica de Cromanon, Buenos Aires, Argentina. This manmade disaster, which took 194 lives, offers a fertile ground to understand the importance of qualitative-related methods to complement the specialised literature.
