#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

An opportunity to engage. (April, 2020)

Researcher, academic

Canada

CHALLENGES

I had my current job offer that I accepted back in November become revoked. This leads me to the challenge that not many hospitality companies are hiring right now and that leads me without a job after graduating. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

How long does it take me to close the agency and where to find a new source of income. (August, 2020)

IDEAS

Pre-pandemic challenges including over-tourism, aircraft emission pollution, and budget travels may be things of the past now. This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a look at Sustainable Development Goals seriously and consider how we want to brand tourism going forward. (April, 2020)

I CAN OFFER

As a second year MBA student at Kyoto University, I would be happy to help gather information and resources available. (April, 2020)

I NEED

I think our company needs a good and positive employee force, including maintaining good HR practices and encouragement to give employees. Personally, the company also needs a plan from our boss going forward (as hard and uncertain as the world is making that on him). (April, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

Working from home, flexibility, reducing labor costs, on-call duty, finding new opportunities for development in tourism. (July, 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)

OTHER / SPOTTED

I am really liking the idea about starting over in the field of tourism. I think it's a great idea because the tourism industry has been doing amazing so far for many years and had a lot of profit from different airline companies bringing bilions every year and so on, but I still think that with starting all over we could do even better and make tourism industry better than ever.
