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!

Before taking a trip, I will check every detail of the local conditions from the Qiongyou App to decide where , how and when I will go to enjoy my journey. From that web, lots of uploaders shared their experience of their trip,which was including the bitter or sweet memories. Lots of members in Qiongyou App was built a net trip community which is attracting lots of people to follow their footprits. (April, 2020)

I NEED

I need a good and competent team, a team that is reliable. I would like to be mutely involved in the creative work process of sustainable tourism and be heard there. Even though I am still very young for this. I think it is important that people of different ages and backgrounds work together. Through this diversity we will find the best solutions.

Impact of COVID-19 on Travel: Foreign Travel Industry Needs an Immediate Rescue Plan:

This article is based on India's data but it could be translated to all the other countries in the world affected by coronavirus, because it is hitting the tourism sector the same way everywhere. During the last years tourism was unstoppably growing in India but now this sector will have just to fight for survival, because even if quarantine ends and people go back to their jobs, travelling will probably still be restricted. He is also stating that in many countries the governments already started up plans for saving the tourism sector but India is not one of them, and should start working on that. Article gives four possible solutions: Cancel or postpone the proposed TCS on foreign travel that was introduced in the Finance Bill (2020), One-year GST Relief, Exclusive Fund Allocation for the Tourism Sector, Interest-free Credit Facilities for the Travel Sector.
