#TourismFromZero initiative

Latest news:

The 2020 pandemic and previous years’ overtourism issues showed us both the benefits, the relevance, and the limits of the tourism, hospitality and leisure industries for society. We cannot foresee the future, but we can listen to challenges and start developing solutions. 

So far we have received more than 900 responses in which these questions have been discussed::

  1. How should we IMAGINE tourism now that we have an opportunity to reset the way we do business?
  2. Which CHANGES would you like to see? If any?
  3. What are your CHALLENGES and CONCERNS?
  4. What are your IDEAS and SOLUTIONS to make it through the pandemic AND into a sustainable and innovative future of tourism?

In the name of the global tourism family, many thanks to every single one of you for the inspiring feedback. Your replies are summarized in the sections below.

Don't forget to share YOUR insights (for the first time or again, with new observations):

CONCERNS

Tourism faces a great challenge in the current year and I believe it will return changed and just different. Lately, it's been sadly a mess in some ways. Let's face it.. pollution, over-tourism, people using technology too much while traveling etc... pretty unsustainable, at least in some hotspots. This will change from now on and I believe there will be a better balance in demand. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

- Start a remote event planning company with free consultations to entice customers to pick YOU as their event planner. Whenever this lockdown ends, people will be desperate to be outdoors and with others again, which means events will be in high-demand (everything from weddings to conferences to children’s birthday parties). (April, 2020)
