ABSTRACT

Disaster tourism is a defining feature of the current trend of tourism planning, as well as a part of disaster management. Research related to disaster tourism is often juxtaposed with dark tourism, even though there are critical aspects of disaster tourism that are very different. The paradigm regarding disaster tourism needs to be reviewed further from several aspects, such as concept/property disaster tourism; disaster tourism as a product, including the relationships and interactions between visitors - communities and the environment, as well as aspects of management, include the sustainability of disaster tourism in the future. Through a systematic literature review of Scopus indexed articles, this study aimed to identify concepts and theories that can formulate a new paradigm of disaster tourism. From the sustainability theme, exploring disaster tourism should be carried out with a special research approach taking into account the different characteristics of disasters, as well as destination profiles and local wisdom for the affected communities.
