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.

CONCERNS

I am concerned about the longevity of the crisis. I doubt the agency has enough financial reserves. I'm afraid the company will go bankrupt. (August, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism has been my job and survival for the last 30 years. This is my way of life. (July, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Regarding the idea of perpetuating cleaning and security measures in the food and beverage industry, I put myself in the consumer’s shoes – even if in the past the decision to return to a tourist destination was not directly influenced by this aspect, I believe that in the future cleanliness and security will play a decisive role for the holiday option.

IDEAS

I would like to share idea that I've talked about with my roommate. She is from Bosnia and Herzegovina, I am from Serbia, but students in Slovenia. Having looked at the Slovenian mentality, having studied a lot of things at faculty... We are aware that after all this, the situation in our homelands will be very bad, like it will be in the whole world. Thanks to this situation we realized that we had been wrong for years about our countries...

She came up with the idea that after the situation with the corona virus, "when all this is yesterday", we try to put our passports aside (cancel travel reservations around world) and develop national tourism. Let's do our best to visit every part of our country! In this way, we would also act on other sectors. Let's not let our favorite waiters, our favorite receptionists from hotels where we had our best memories, be technologically redundant and out of work! This year our countries need us the most!

EXPLOITATION

https://www.ft.com/content/19d90308-6858-11ea-a3c9-1fe6fedcca75 - link to the article written by Yuval Noah Harari that I find curious, as it opens many cotroversial questions and dilemas for the future - as the author states amongst other emphases - a shift from “over the skin” to “under the skin” surveillance, with the use od biometric data.

OTHER / SPOTTED

I think that every organization/company... should start to prepare some kind of plan. They should try to adapt and work from home, come up with alternatives so they don't completely lose costumers/visitors...For example many museums started to offer virtual tours. (March, 2020)
