Abstract

On the 8th September 2019, a bushfire destroyed most of the heritage-listed buildings at Binna Burra Lodge, adjacent to Lamington National Park in Queensland, Australia. This case study explores the prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery from this event. This case study was prepared by researchers from the Griffith Institute for Tourism at Griffith University and the EarthCheck Research Institute. It is informed by interviews with key stakeholders in the immediate aftermath of the event, as well as documents and media that captured this event. Given the extent of the disaster, the expertise of key stakeholders involved and the proactive response from government and the local community, this case study provides thought-provoking teaching and learning activities to prompt critical thinking amongst future tourism industry workers. Moreover, this case study supports more informed disaster preparedness and planning for tourism industry workers when responding to similar events in the future.
