CHALLENGES

Such as Japanese government, we need to avoid the following “Three Cs”; (https://www.kantei.go.jp/jp/content/000061935.pdf)

C1: Confined spaces (with poor ventilation)

C2: Crowded places (with many people nearby)

C3: Close contact (with people)

I thought the challenge/ essential impact during/ after COVID to tourism/ service industry is the avoidance of “Three Cs” in contact points between service provider and user. That affects facility use restrictions for the former and expectation alteration by going-out restriction throughout my three perspectives in T0. (June, 2020)

IDEAS

Country should provide more support for all tourism related companies in this times.

Tourism should open only when the science could confirm we are ready till that time support for tourism industry from countrys - in this time I think it is more important to wait and not to make long time damage if we open tourism too soon. (April, 2020)

I CAN OFFER

The best resource I can offer to others is the power to brainstorm new ideas to improve the service processes in our tourism facilities. Just with a lot of innovation and new ways of service it is possible to reach the end with a success and not become a victim of it. (June, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

It´s sad that there are so many cheaters who just want to get all the money which is spend by the state to help the little enterprises to survive the crisis, so that those who really need the money, don´t have any chance to work against their problems ... (June, 2020)
