Who: locals and travelers

What: Earthquakes

When: April 2016

Where: North-West shore of Ecuador

The stakeholders are the people of Ecuador and the travelers/tourists

I feel that there is a chance of natural disaster anywhere tropical in the world. I don't believe that it should poorly influence tourism in my destination because there are many other travel destinations in the world that have natural disasters.
