#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.

OTHER / SPOTTED

Maybe finding financial solutions or funds for those who are now in existential crisis. I also think everyone who is working in culture sector or any other art branch is fearful of the future situation. I think we should really support those and find a way to make their lives easier. After all, art is what define us, makes us humans. (April, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism has been employing me for 25 years. Given that this is a multiplicative activity that is alive and constantly changing, it also brings new challenges. Work in tourism is in all prespectives related to people. Tourist workers are also the best promoters of tourist destinations. (August, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Personally I’m not really affected by COVID-19 when it comes to traveling. Of course I would love to go somewhere rather than just different places in Austria but that is just not happening this year and that’s fine for me. (December, 2020)

IDEAS

Currently only thinking how to save the company before bankrupt. Maybe focusing to domestic market with attractive offers, packages in connection with local agencies. Focusing to some other markets, which were not before main markets for our city. Offer full digital support to customers on your own websites and other digital resources. (April, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Not do much an exploitation as such, but discounting I see amongst hotels in Japan will not save the industry as it causes the Prisoner's Dilemma. Everyone could suffer as a result. (April, 2020)
