#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):

  

The 10 quotes below are updated every few minutes and elephant word-clouds are recalculated regularly based on your new survey entries. You have to refresh the page or revisit us every so often to see the changed content.

IDEAS

Making a bigger point on tolerance. On accepting that this horrible thing has happened and that there's no going back. Therefore we need to be tolerant of eachother and experts trying to find new ways to bring tourism back to us. (April, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

Our company has a registered travel business. Tourism is therefore extremely important to us. We cannot survive without tourism, travel and excursions. (August, 2020)

CONCERNS

Even as we overcome this state of emergency, I do not expect tourism to blossom right away. People will have concerns. Initially It may happen that trips to European capitals suffer a decrease. People will prefer to travel shorter distances by car, and they will primarily seek peace, a pleasant climate and contact with the natural environment. It is good that Slovenia offers plenty of that. (April, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

Regarding the tourism in Austria I think the best thing we can do as locals is to support the Austrian economic system. This starts with buying local products, spending "holiday" in Austria, visiting smaller restaurants or supporting smaller companies that fight to survive. (October, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

There have been cases I heard of where companies would apply for financial support from the government, even though they where not entitled to get it and had no real need for it. (June, 2020)
