#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 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

Observance of safety standards when organizing excursions. Frightened passengers who are afraid to travel due to a virus infection. They are also afraid that they will have to be quarantined when they return to their homeland. (August, 2020)

CONCERNS

My biggest concern remains the time after the pandemic. When are we able to return to a "normal life" without masks, with no travel restrictions or the fear of catching the virus? Or are we even able to go back to normal, probably not in the next few years. That's my biggest concern. (June, 2020)

IDEAS

My ideas are for local restaurants to make "survival kits" of whatever their specialty is. If it's a pizza shop then "make your own pizza kits". If it's a bakery then you could have "make your own cookies kit". These are little ways to make money and give people something fun to do this this scary, unpredictable time. (April, 2020)

I CAN OFFER

My willing to make the difference. Make the best of this time, you can’t change it and you have to live with it. You have to rethink about several things and find solutions. Don’t be shy. (June, 2020)

I NEED

Till we get an idea of what will be allowed and under what terms it is hard to know resources needed we can only speculate. Maybe it would be god to ask people if they would we willing to travel if 1) quarantine in place 2) only social distancing in place and other questions that we have but I think this is up to regulators - country to make that steps.

SOLUTIONS

For me the best solution at that time was simply to make the best of it and rethink my lifestyle. I realized how important social contacts are and how little we actually appreciate it. I followed the rules and in the end I can say that I did everything I could to get through the pandemic quickly. (December, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

The media partly exploit the situation of the pandemic to get attention and generate sales. However, the media is not aware, or perhaps unfortunately they are - even sadder that this hype in the media - can make the population sick. (October, 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)
