Summary:This article presents some important aspects of risk management in tourism, the tools and techniques to measure risk, the behavioural issues and the various ways in which risk management can help tourism operators to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. As a study case is highlighted The Rottnes Island. Although each island as a tourist destination has its specific profile, however some general principles of risk management can be applied successfully to any of them. The ability of a destination to effectively respond to crises and risk occurrences can be the principal determinant of the short and long-term sustainability of tourism.. Monitoring and reviewing the performance of a destination in managing risks is essential to ensure the relevance of the risk management process.
