Abstract:Natural disasters, especially floods, are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change, affecting billions of people worldwide. On July 14th, 2021, Wallonia, Belgium, experienced its worst flood, which resulted in human and economic losses, with severe impacts on its tourism sector. This paper explores the economic and social impacts of the flood on the tourism industry in Wallonia and how it has influenced the industry's transition toward sustainability. Based on stakeholders’ responses, the study assesses how the disaster has shaped perceptions of sustainable practices and the resilience of tourism operations. It also reviews new initiatives, policies and improved governance that arose as recovery and adaptation measures.
