No trains will run outside of the central belt during next week's three-day strike by RMT workers.
"If there's no trains, we're scuppered," he said. "It's going to be an absolute disaster.
"It's going to be a nightmare for business travellers, for those going to and from work, for people travelling for leisure, at the start of the peak of Scotland's tourist season, visitors to this country flooding in, restricted services or non-existent services. He added: "The oil industry is not just an Aberdeen sector, it's Scotland-wide, it's UK-wide. People need to get to their place of work."She said: "Inverness and surrounding areas are very much dependent on tourism at this time of year. It's been a dreadful year and we are just starting to see the tourists coming back."It's not just the fact these trains are not running, it's the perception that we're not reachable.
ScotRail's service delivery director David Simpson said passengers should also expect significant disruption to services on the days between strike action.
