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):

CONCERNS

I am worried that the complete stagnation of tourism will continue for a very long time (at least two years) and that tourism will never be at the same level as it used to be. (July, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

Our company has a registered travel business. Tourism is therefore extremely important to us. We cannot survive without tourism, travel and excursions. (August, 2020)

CHALLENGES

A virtual meeting/webinar is the future trend for the convention/conference business. Event organizers may suffer revenue loss as these days "on-the-spot" meetings are not as popular as they were in the past. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

Finding unknown path and parts of solitude, detoxing etc. has been an emerging trend for the last couple of years and I do believe this is a way we could be able to deal with current situation. Slovenia still has lots of unpopulated and secluded areas that could be a great resource to start working on secluded and off the grid holiday packages that are more connected with local experiences and general well being. I believe back to nature should be one of our primary focus during the upcoming tourism season and creating a bond between lesser people that includes spiritual, sport, culture and creative ways of spending time outdoors. We always considered outdoors as being only a spiritual and sports related free time activities, but culture should start being one of the vocal points that should be included in this spectrum now. (March, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Tourist vouchers should also be redeemable in travel agencies, restaurants, museums and national parks. Now some providers are earning a lot, while others are in red numbers.. (August, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

Locals: we all find out plenty of local farmers and other stakeholders in our area in those days. Connect with them, think how to include their products in you offer and how to support your local community in those days. Be an active member and make small actions to help. We are all members of the same destination and together we are stronger. (April, 2020)
