Residents of Orlando, Florida, are still reeling from the events of the last 10 days, from the fatal shooting of a "Voice" singer after her concert and the mass shooting at a nightclub that killed 49, to a fatal alligator attack on a toddler who was on vacation with his family at a Walt Disney World resort.

Young Hoon Kim, chair of the Department of Hospitality and Tourism in the University of North Texas' College of Merchandising, Hospitality and Tourism, is available to discuss possible loss of tourism revenues by Walt Disney World and the city of Orlando, and steps to take for recovery. He may reached at 940-565-4786 and at Younghoon.Kim@unt.edu.

Kim says tourism to central Florida -- primarily, the number of those choosing to go to Disney World and its resorts -- should expect more than a 10 percent decrease in the coming weeks, and noted that the events happening in Orlando at the start of summer vacation season is the "worst timing."

"Disney is the largest single taxpayer in central Florida, with more than 70,000 employees and an annual regional payroll of around $2.4 billion," he says.

The Orlando mayor's statement after the shooting at Pulse nightclub -- which became the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history -- was a very positive step toward the city's recovery as a tourist destination, Kim says.

He listed possible other responses:

• Setting up a memorial or monument on or near the site of Pulse
• Holding emergency training sessions for staff members at resorts and other venues popular with tourists
• Communicating frequently with the media and the public about positive follow ups to the events, such as a memorial plan or training sessions
• Continuing to promote Florida as a destination for family vacations
• Emphasizing the safe image of Disney World by comparing accident percentage to that of other major U.S. theme parks
