IDEAS

I think it would be very good for catering businesses to expand their business on the internet, as the current situation is quite controlling in showing how untapped the network is in our daily lives. In my opinion, it is necessary to use technology in tourism companies, but at the same time to create businesses based on protection nature. By that, I mean to decrease pollution or transport vehicles could use electricity as fuel. I think it would be good to develop tourist activities in unknown destinations as well since it is essential to reduce mass tourism in very well-known destinations. Travel guides have a great opportunity to offer their skills to tourists through online applications. It seems to me that when renovating a tourist activity, we must keep in mind nature conservation and reducing the negative effects, not only money. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

Each government should state real laws in terms of sustainability, even help enterprises, now that the nature is giving us the perfect second chance. And stop giving them the option of paying high fines instead of doing it properly. They should be tough with every enterprise, and help the ones with the lower incomes to become more sustainable, but for real. (April, 2020)
