#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):

TOURISM MEANS

I think tourism is an important part of my life. I like to travel and explore new countries and cultures. Not everybody has the money and time to travel and that is the reason why I am pleased to be able to travel and be a tourist. (June, 2020)

CHALLENGES

There are changing travel conditions and challenging times if you want to travel. But there are also cuttings in your personal life, like the university life. I haven't seen my colleagues from university since February. The learning from home is challenging because no one could tell you how you should do it, its new for everyone. At work, we had short-time work for about half a year, and we still don't know what happens next. (October, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Travel companies not allowing for partial or full refunds. It is not as if people wanted to cancel their travel and we cannot deter people from traveling in the future by souring their present experiences. (March, 2020)

United States

OTHER / SPOTTED

Even if everything in tourism sector has stopped for a while that should not mean everything must be completely cancelled. People should promote themselves through social media and share their ideas. They can still connect with others and with that they show that they care and are still trying to come up with something. (March, 2020)
