Tourism Crisis Management Scheme Crisis Communications Team
(CCT) Department of Tourism Crisis Management Team (CMT) ASEAN
Crisis Communications Team (ACCT)
Slide 20
The illustration shows the structure within the Department of
Tourism when a crisis related in tourism arises. A Crisis
Management Team (CMT) will be created within the Department and a
Crisis Communications Team will be one of the sub-teams to be
created within the CMT. If the crisis became a potential crisis for
the whole ASEAN region, a member of the DCCT will be appointed as
the representative in the ACCT. This is to ensure that the ACCT has
access to facts of the crisis at source and the DOTs communications
plans. However, it is only in the event that the incident is deemed
as a potential crisis for tourism in the region that the ACCT
representative needs to inform the ACCT. The ACCT will then be
responsible in minimizing the impact of the crisis on ASEAN tourism
through effective communications.
