#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):

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

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.

I'm a soccer coach for kids. Maybe I can create a practice where they still keep distance, so that we can play again. (June, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Travel companies not allowing for partial or full refunds. It is not as if people wanted to cancel their travel and we cannot deter people from traveling in the future by souring their present experiences. (March, 2020)
