TOURISM MEANS

I can't describe tourism just with one word, for me its very complex and not all about a business sector. As I'm from Austria, I know that tourism is one of the biggest player in our country and we couldn't live this comfortable life without all the tourists that are visiting us during the year. But at the same time I'm a tourist as well, when I visit other countries or cities, so I can see both sites and think in a world like this we all know both sites and we barely think about the consequences we cause, by traveling this much and "fast". To cut a long story short, tourism means freedom to me but in the same way it can stress me out, as I'm living in Vienna with a lot of ignorance tourists all day long. (October, 2020)

CHALLENGES

It will be hard to open our own tourism businesses, which action will we have to take, and how long will it take, to have those opportunities back as were presented to us, before the crisis. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

My biggest concern is being able to find a job during this time of crisis due to the economy being in a recession. Across the globe hospitality companies are laying off employees and are in a hiring freeze. Due to this the possibility of me finding a job right now is very low. I am very nervous about this uncertain future and I am concerned that I may not find a job for a long time. (April, 2020)
