#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):

CHALLENGES

Tourism will probably due to this crisis regressed, so most of tourism services will have a season full of loss. The challenge will be how fast will tourism companies solve the crisis and once again ˝rise from the ashes˝ and countinue. (April, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Deciding which hotel is clean and COVID-19 free is a big decision when deciding where to stay for work during this outbreak. Numerous employers still need their employees to travel for their job, while it may not have to be through airlines, traveling involves the need to stay somewhere for a short period of time. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

At first, of course, I was worried about my health. Nobody knew what was going to happen and therefore they had respect for this pandemic and I hoped that nobody from my circle of friends and family would get infected. But then I heard from friends who were infected that it was not bad for them at all and the flu was often stronger. From then on I was more worried about the economy and how to get out of this lockdown as debt-free as possible (June, 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

I really like the idea. But I am afraid the world is too greedy to make any honest changes in any other direction than making money/profit. (May, 2020)
