This paper outlines a vivid demonstration of the complexity of involved business processes and their interconnections through a case study. Appropriate preparations for hospitality and travel SMEs to such events have been identified and implemented through a purpose specific information system. To design this online platform, we followed a requirements analysis methodology. The main elements from the implementation of this platform have also been included, whereas elements of an initial usability evaluation have also been presented. � Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.enAn online platform for �black swan� event management in the hospitality industryConference paper
