Abstract

The resilience of tourist destinations is today an essential means for a successful and efficient management of all sectors.

In Morocco, the tourism sector, whose revenues are ranked third nationally, should be strengthened and immunized against all risks and contingencies (Covid-19 as an example) that can slow down or hinder its growth and constitute a locomotive of socio-economic development. For this reason, our work intervenes to answer the question that arises which is the definition of the factors that determine a resilience strategy for tourist destinations.

This paper is presented as a review of the theoretical literature on the resilience of tourist destinations, dealing with the factors that determine and help destinations in particular and companies in general to implement a resilience strategy against the risks that can affect their activities.

The study covers about twenty articles that have been subjected to a rigorous textual analysis. Finally, it can be concluded that the latter revealed that resilience is mainly determined by two parameters, risk management and vulnerability.
