#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

The thing I love the most about travelling is how it changes your perspective on life. Every place, every person and every experience changes you a little bit and affects the way you look at yourself and at others. It is probably one of the best and most effective ways to learn more about yourself and where you come from. (June, 2020)

IDEAS

Higher impact of encouraging green, long-term sustainable tourism activities worldwide, as this is a perfect opportunity to do so. As we were witnesses that even though those actions were encouraged before, still the industry didn't do enough on this topic (cruises pollution in Venice for example). (April, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

It is my opinion, that now we have time to prepare fresh trip ideas and new routes, for ourselves or for others, if we work in a travel agency and so when all this is over, we will be able to offer something new, innovative and different to tourists. (March, 2020)
