#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.

OTHER / SPOTTED

This article forecasts on how tourism lies in the future due to the Covid19 pandemic.

To support their tourism sectors, the article highlights that in essence, domestic travel and tourism will be expected to substitute foreign tourism demand. Additionally, the governments will support travel and tourism sectors more directly through bailout packages. In the future the article states that at the beginning, countries may require a COVID-19 free certificate. If it becomes evident that COVID-19 survivors become immune to subsequent infections and transmissions, an immunity certificate for example Yellow Fever booklet, the article suggested that may become a requirement for both outward and inward travel, improving visa application processes and make them online and also issuing immunity passports so people can leave the lock down early.
