| Abstract |
The aftereffects of disaster events are significant in tourist destinations where they do not only lead to destruction and casualties, but also long-lasting economic harms. The public perception causes tourists to refrain from visiting these areas and recovery of the tourist industry, a major economic sector, to become challenging. To improve this situation, current information about the tourist and infrastructure recovery is crucial for a “rebranding”- information that is however time and cost-intensive in acquisition using traditional information sources. An alternative data source that has shown great potential for information gathering in other disaster management phases, which was less considered for disaster recovery purposes, is Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). Therefore, this paper introduces a VGI-based methodology to address this task. Initial analyses conducted with Flickr data indicate a potential of VGI for recovery monitoring, whereas the analysis of OpenStreetMap data shows, that this form of VGI requires further quality assurance. |

| Abstract |
Nepal is one of the most popular travel destinations because of its natural beauty and Himalayas. Tourism industry contributes significantly to the nation's GDP. However, the 2015 earthquake has created great havoc causing loss of more than 9,000 lives, damaging many buildings including World heritage sites and trekking trails. Despite a substantial amount of foreign aid, overall recovery programs have not been effective. This empirical study focuses on the use of ICT tools for the recovery works in the tourism industry and uses mixed methods engaging tourism associations and organisations. Four 'areas of concerns' regarding ICT use, are identified by using the qualitative analysis and validated through a survey of 198 tourism organisations. The findings show that the earthquake has significantly impacted the industry and the government has not adequately used ICTs in the recovery activities. This study strongly advocates using ICT tools for the post-disaster tourism resilience. |
