This article forecasts on how tourism lies in the future due to the Covid19 pandemic.

To support their tourism sectors, the article highlights that in essence, domestic travel and tourism will be expected to substitute foreign tourism demand. Additionally, the governments will support travel and tourism sectors more directly through bailout packages. In the future the article states that at the beginning, countries may require a COVID-19 free certificate. If it becomes evident that COVID-19 survivors become immune to subsequent infections and transmissions, an immunity certificate for example Yellow Fever booklet, the article suggested that may become a requirement for both outward and inward travel, improving visa application processes and make them online and also issuing immunity passports so people can leave the lock down early.

TOURISM MEANS

For me tourism means exploring new countries and places. Personally I don't refer to myself as a tourist when im going to other places. I would say im more like a visitor. I feel like being a tourist has some kind of a bad stigma. I know how it feels if you see more tourists in your city than locals. Thats why I try to not to behave as a tourist when im on vacation. Tourism also plays a big role in the creation and conservation of jobs. So in some way it also feels like a secure and steady income source for a lot of people. (September, 2020)

CHALLENGES

How to become interesting destination for one who is just passing through our valley, what to offer that guest will spend some money for our service, what the guest would like to experience. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

Flying in an airplane is a challenge, since that's a place where the virus can spread rapidly and it's impossible to keep distance. Also, at the destination (wherever in the world) there is a risk of bringing the virus and infecting more people there, or the tourist getting infected. Also, since tourism basically came to a stop, people depending financially on tourism face huge problems right now, and for the time to come. Moreover, I'm thinking about all the people who will lose their jobs who work directly or indirectly with tourism, like airline workers, events, cleaners, security, tour operators, guides, hospitality sector and so on.

IDEAS

Holidays should be repositioned as a big deal, something meaningful and highly valued and also carefully planned with consideration for environmental ressources and human concerns. We would think more about what we really want for our money. Most people buy far too many things they don’t need, including myself! (May, 2020)
