CHALLENGES

I have lost my job at a hotel in March at the beginning of the crisis. Now during summer I am going to work at a surfing school and I am not sure if there are going to be enough guests and how it is possible to work there with the students respecting the hygiene concepts. But it was also hard to study during the crisis because we did not have any course at university but only online. It was hard for me to stay focused at these times and not seeing my friends and colleges to get physical support. Furthermore, it was difficult for me that our freedom got limited and we could not move like we usually do. (June, 2020)

CONCERNS

That this will be going on for a long time. Well it is not a concern but a known fact that economy, tourism and everything we know will collapse and will need to be established once again. That is why I think and I want to participate in tourism from zero, because we will be one of the first ones which will do something about it. (March, 2020)

IDEAS

Family businesses can bring more of their personality and family stories into their communication. Time to hop on all social media platforms and make content. Content with stories and emotion. (April, 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)
