#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.

CHALLENGES

Normally I earn most of my money during the winter season. This year I could just work half-season until everything shut down. Now for my and my family, the biggest challenge is for sure to find new ways to earn enough money also during this crisis. (June, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Being a senior in college, the most common challenges I see during this time are students having a lot of trouble in the job search, and are also having difficulties adhering to social distancing orders and wanting to hangout with college friends in small groups. This may seem harmless but can cause huge unintended consequences with spreading the virus. I am also challenged by what my future is going to look like with a lockdown order extending past my original job start date as well as my lease move in date. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

The main concern I have is, that when this all will be over, that people will just get crazy and want to visit the whole world and be greedy. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

Holidays should be repositioned as a big deal, something meaningful and highly valued and also carefully planned with consideration for environmental ressources and human concerns. We would think more about what we really want for our money. Most people buy far too many things they don’t need, including myself! (May, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Some companies, especially in the medical and hygiene sector, have certainly been able to use the pandemic to their advantage. (October, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

Even if everything in tourism sector has stopped for a while that should not mean everything must be completely cancelled. People should promote themselves through social media and share their ideas. They can still connect with others and with that they show that they care and are still trying to come up with something. (March, 2020)
