#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

The thing about travel that leaves the biggest impression on me is definitely just the general vibe/feel you get from a place, not necessarily the main tourist attractions, museums, etc...I think that most of the feeling you get from a city is contributed by the locals; their lifestyle and shared values. That’s why meeting new people and getting to know more about their culture and outlook on life is the thing I’m most excited for when traveling. (April, 2020)

CHALLENGES

I work at a winery when I am not a student at school. The winery was forced to close due to the COVID-19 outbreak. I now have no income. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

When will hospitality pick up again and what is going to make people feel safe about traveling. If we are able to flatten the curve by people staying inside how will we know this won't happen again. I feel hotels, cruise ships and restaurants are going to have to do a lot of marketing and convincing to put faith back in people it is safe to stay and eat in their establishments. Additionally, with so many people losing their jobs and incomes being low even once it is safe to travel and explore when will people have the extra funds to do so. (April, 2020)
