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.

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism became life for me about five years ago. When I started my journey as a tour guide, I gave up a lot. The main guideline was that I like to travel, research and share all the acquired knowledge with guests in Slovenia, Europe and around the world. I think we are slowly growing over the years and adding chapters step by step to our tourism career. (July, 2020)

IDEAS

Each stakeholder will need to devise his own communication tactics. The key is to recognize when consumers will enter into the daydreaming about holidays phase. As long as the media is dominated by posts about the corona virus, consumers will find it difficult to get their thoughts set on holidays. So it is crucial that the situation is monitored daily, prepare a plan and activate it as we begin to arrive at (new) normality. (April, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

I saw a weird travel website talking about travel to countries that didn't have the coronavirus. All the more reason to NOT go there, I would say. In no time the virus would be there and those countries would soon also go through all the troubles and deaths. (May, 2020)
