CONCERNS

With the current situation, concerns certainly come. I am most concerned about how the tourism industry will recover from the current situation, as COVID-19 has hit the tourism sector the hardest. As a tourism student, I am worried about getting a job during and after my studies. I am also concerned that tourism companies will not allow students to gain corporate experience. At the same time, I am concerned about the direction in which tourism will develop. Whether we will be able to decrease the negative effects of tourism after the epidemic and also if we can develop tourism into a responsible industry. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

It would be an idea to buy gift cards for several hotels and tourism regions in whatever country you want to travel. When the crisis is over you can easily redeem your gift card. (December, 2020)

According to superiors, we can afford such poor business this year, but if the crisis continues and travel continues to be impossible, and if the state does not provide additional financial assistance, we are promised layoffs. (September, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

We can not go back to normal after the covid19-crisis because before was a crisis too. Climate crisis should be handled like a bigger threat! (April, 2020)
