#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

Tourism means that people from other countrys, or this country or even locals are exploring things they usually don´t do in their every-day-life. And for me and my company tourism means everything, if we dont get any guests we can´t run our business. We don´t have any other leg to stand on, tourism is everything. (April, 2020)

CHALLENGES

The challenge is to adjust the travel offer. Previously, we mainly organized longer trips to other continents, but now we are forced to prepare new products. We are preparing one- and multi-day trips around Slovenia, but after such trips there is less interest from our guests. They mostly travel around Slovenia alone. (August, 2020)

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)

I NEED

A list of companies in the tourism industry that are hiring. What companies are going to be looking for employees once things start to pick up again and what companies are no longer going to be able to stay in business due to lost revenues during this time. (April, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

Protect the resource at all costs. If communities and the attraction (I'm thinking here wildlife) isn't benefiting then it's time to re-consider new options. (April, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

It´s sad that there are so many cheaters who just want to get all the money which is spend by the state to help the little enterprises to survive the crisis, so that those who really need the money, don´t have any chance to work against their problems ... (June, 2020)
