#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):

  

The 10 quotes below are updated every few minutes and elephant word-clouds are recalculated regularly based on your new survey entries. You have to refresh the page or revisit us every so often to see the changed content.

I NEED

I think our company needs a good and positive employee force, including maintaining good HR practices and encouragement to give employees. Personally, the company also needs a plan from our boss going forward (as hard and uncertain as the world is making that on him). (April, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism is for me that I can work in the village and I do not need to travel to work to other cities. (June, 2020)

CHALLENGES

We are currently reorganizing our work, as there are currently fewer employees in the agency. We are also developing new excursions that would attract the domestic market. (September, 2020)

CONCERNS

During the pandemic I am worried that i will unintentionally get used to the situation, depressions will increase and after the pandemic I am afraid that some people will find it very difficult to get used to their normal life again. (October, 2020)

IDEAS

I would be so happy if we would reduce the massive production and replace plastic with more nature-friendly materials, promote more conscious way of travelling and with a purpose, reduce flights and help locals by buying their products. I would also promote domestic tourism so less people would travel long-distances. Supporting artists and other creators would be my biggest wish so they could reach out to the world and sustain their life with their work of art. (April, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Social media influencers using it for attention; politicians making speeches to further their own agendas and blame various other parties instead of taking responsibility. Others whom are price gouging, being rude and inconsiderate, unfortunately this list goes on and on and on. (March, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

I saw a weird travel website talking about travel to countries that didn't have the coronavirus. All the more reason to NOT go there, I would say. In no time the virus would be there and those countries would soon also go through all the troubles and deaths. (May, 2020)
