#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):

  

The 10 quotes below are updated every few minutes and elephant word-clouds are recalculated regularly based on your new survey entries. You have to refresh the page or revisit us every so often to see the changed content.

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism means the oportunity to travel and experience different environments, be it social or nature or business, tourism offers a wide range of oportunities to people, also means a concern about impacts that this wide spectrum of activities has. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

Although Covid-19 is likely the biggest global crisis since the second world war, it is still dwarfed in the long term by climate change. Yet the two problems have suggestive similarities. Both will require unusual levels of global cooperation. Both demand changes in behaviour today in the name of reducing suffering tomorrow. (April, 2020)

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!
