#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):

CHALLENGES

What probably challenged me the most was reducing social contacts and interactions with friends or family members. After that long time I even started missing going to university, while working from home in front of your laptop. (October, 2020)

CONCERNS

When will hospitality pick up again and what is going to make people feel safe about traveling. If we are able to flatten the curve by people staying inside how will we know this won't happen again. I feel hotels, cruise ships and restaurants are going to have to do a lot of marketing and convincing to put faith back in people it is safe to stay and eat in their establishments. Additionally, with so many people losing their jobs and incomes being low even once it is safe to travel and explore when will people have the extra funds to do so. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

We are going to focus on local/regional tourists.

People are going to want more sincere/personal contact in this new sterile world.

Our destination is going to gain from the crisis and become an niche destination for aero tourists, since we have a small, not very frequent airport :D (April, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

It´s sad that there are so many cheaters who just want to get all the money which is spend by the state to help the little enterprises to survive the crisis, so that those who really need the money, don´t have any chance to work against their problems ... (June, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

It is my opinion, that now we have time to prepare fresh trip ideas and new routes, for ourselves or for others, if we work in a travel agency and so when all this is over, we will be able to offer something new, innovative and different to tourists. (March, 2020)
