#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):

  

The 10 quotes below are updated every few minutes and elephant word-clouds are recalculated regularly based on your new survey entries. You have to refresh the page or revisit us every so often to see the changed content.

IDEAS

Although the tourism industry is facing a great challenge and facing a great deal of doubt, I think it can face it, and get out of the position it is now in, with even better, stronger positive effects and an even brighter future. I believe that the key to success is mutual cooperation, unification,agreement, and solidarity , both between leading organizations, smaller and larger companies, and between us as individuals.

CHALLENGES

Tourism will probably due to this crisis regressed, so most of tourism services will have a season full of loss. The challenge will be how fast will tourism companies solve the crisis and once again ˝rise from the ashes˝ and countinue. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

I don’t really see myself as someone who has enough knowledge to come up with any meaningful solutions, but I do think that we should focus more on local tourist attractions, so maybe they would deserve more promotion in such times. (April, 2020)
