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?

  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?

TOURISM MEANS

To me tourism is a big part about a globalized world since it means we can can get out of our usual envirnoment and see something we dont usually see. It is a nice distraction from the normal, boring everyday life and a chance to experience something out of the ordinary. The feeling you get when you finally reach the date of your flight, the excitement rushing through the veins when you board the airplane and then the relief when you finally land in your desired destination, is incredible. Suddenly you are in a whole diffrent world, a whole diffrent culture. It is very important to me, that we are able to see the whole planet that we are living on and experience all the different cultures and vibes that people from other parts of the world give you.

IDEAS

Each stakeholder will need to devise his own communication tactics. The key is to recognize when consumers will enter into daydreaming about holidays phase. As long as the media dominates with posts about the corona virus, consumers will find it difficult to get their thoughts on the 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)

EXPLOITATION

Travel companies not allowing for partial or full refunds. It is not as if people wanted to cancel their travel and we cannot deter people from traveling in the future by souring their present experiences. (March, 2020)
